Containment in Iraq was an immoral policy that consigned millions to tyranny for decades.

Zinni's policy depended entirely on the predictability of a madman with WMD, programs, a history of using them, open support of terrorists, support of the Islamic suicide cultists who have repeatedly threatened the US, Israel, the West, Christians and Jews.

These cultists and their State supporters have been murdering innocents over the globe for decades, with impunity.

Was Zinni prepared to "contain" Saddams wacko sons also? For how many more "no-fly" zone decades? Would the sons have let the UN inspect Iraq?

Zinni is an imprudent man, and a simple contrarian.

Key word being predictability. We did unto him (and his sons) before he did unto us. Or helped others do unto us. The war on terror focuses on preemptive action thus a huge statement was made to the ArabMuslimTerrorist world when we entered Iraq to put down some rabid dogs. Mad dogs that are considered the norm for rulers in the Arab world. We aim to change that thinking.
