Negative. The only thing that made it a "bit" more justified is that genocide was happening in Europe. And all the Europeans were saying "OMG we must mobilize against this new Hitler". Believe it or not, Pres. Clinton didn't really want in on the deal, especially when he found out the rules of engagement. But he helped fulfilled our duty anyway because we said in NATO we would help eliminate potential threats to the Western European way of life. Thats why we are world leaders.....we actually make good on our promises to our allies, instead of coming up with lame excuses to cop out and then leading and global opposition movement. As if copping out wasn't disgraceful enough.
Anyways, there were still people getting tortured/detained when we arrived in Iraq. And Saddam had been ethnically cleansing the Kurds and Shiites for over ten years. In fact, he actually used them to test his chemical weapons. That's right, in the West, where we have stiff opposition to people testing shampoo on dogs and cats, we sat back and watched a man test chemical weapons on women and children.
