Iraq never attacked America, never helped anyone else attack America, never planned any attacks against America, and had no connection or collusion with anyone who has done these things.
In 1990 the U.S. launched an unwarranted, unprovoked, unreasonable, and utterly unconstitutional attack and invasion of Iraq. Following this completely unlibertarian, unamerican, and inhuman initiation of force, America bombed them daily for 12 straight years, and kept them from life saving medicines, and put onerous and outrageous restrictions on Iraq demanding that they both disarm, and allow themselves to be inspected without warning at any time for any reason. These actions cost the lives of 300,000 Iraqi people.
Then, after finding none of the weapons that Bush lied about, America invaded Iraq again, and murdered at least 100,000 more innocent Iraqi men, women, and children who were trying to defend themselves against this attack.
America opened the door for murderers from surrounding nations to come in and kill even more Iraqis, in addition to the Iraqi people who were jailed without reason for up to 2 years where they were tortured, beaten (sometimes to death), humiliated, and otherwise had their rights violated despite having never committed a crime.
I don't have an "urge to purge". I have an urge to keep the party strictly in line with libertarian philosophy and to stop America from committing wholesale murder, and interfering in the affairs of other nations and starting unprovoked wars.
I'm not in a hurry for America to lose. It already lost the moment it started this madness. I'm in a hurry to stop the bleeding and for America to stop losing Americans for this fools errand.
