When someone says "I think the war is a mistake", what they really mean is:

"I wish we had enforced the no-fly-zones and sanctions until enough US pilots had been killed and Saddam had acquired enough conventional and unconventional weapons that he could have attacked our forces in the Gulf instead."

That's what it would of looked like if we hadn't fought then--we would have fought later and not on our own terms!

Of course I note that all the 'cut and runners' are baby-boomers for whom every war is Vietnam and every president is Nixon. Fair weather patriots....

Im a Baby boomer but I agree with you....No one wants war but who is to say that this war will not prevent other wars?

Also as wars go this is an small "real" war . I worry that if this country was faced with Hitler at this point Congess would pass a binding resolution that we should all speak German
