I´m not sure. Under the given facts we believed in THEN, I would have started the as well. Under the facts we know NOW, I would have attacked Iraq later... with another reason (the oppressive regime) and probably more solidarity from other countries. However, it´s waste of time to speculate and think about "what if".

the Prez made his very tough decision in the context of a climate of post 9/11, with Bin Laden at large, with knowledge that types like al Zarqawi were moving in and out of Iraq at will and that Saddam was openly helping terrorists in Israel and that he had unaccounted for chemical weapons. i would maintain that those that gave him a hard time for not seeing the signs of 9/11 now think that he should have ignored the many disturbing signs he saw then. they are not logical or responsible in my book. and only John Kerry seriously entertains thoughts of what we would do now knowing what we think we know now.the Prez has no luxury of such "do-overs"
