I support the principles of it, and I support democracy. I'm not entirely a fan of this war though, because I think in the end the US will just pull out, and it will all be a waste. The American people don't have the attention span needed for important wars anymore.

What do you think were the principles we fought for? What made this war an "important war"?

The principle, as I see it, is that all people should be free, and not subject to a dictator, and the Iraqis needed help to achieve this. What's that qoute, "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" ? - MLK? Something like that.
This war is important because it attempts to establish a stable democracy in a Muslim country.
