Perhaps but....those pushing for war have the same world saving engineering hubris as the whiz kids who got us in the Vietnam War. An attempt to bring democracy to the hell hole of Iraq is a recipe for the endless spilling of American blood, treasure in futile nation building efforts. I, for one, hope the war hawks are stopped.

Those pushing for action against Iraq are not the same whiz kids that got us into Vietnam. I don't think the US has any priority about democracy and Iraq, I do think the US has an agenda about blowing up any nasty weapons Saddam may have or acquire before he uses them on us or Israel.
