The Constitution states that the top priority of the government is to defend her citizens. This was totally constitutional. The danger was Iraq constant disregard for fullfilling any of the 17 resolutions the most important being 681, the ceasefire. We've been in a perpetual ceasefire since 91. The s!*t had to go down at some point.

1441 (and previous resolutions) put the onus on Iraq and Hussein to prove that they we're "clean." There was no presumption of innocence to be had by Hussein and Iraq because they have been on probation since 91. If he pulled a huge bluff then he lost.

The fact is that if we get attacked again we are in prime position to respond. No arguments with Saudi Arabia or Turkey about use of bases for launching points.

In the final analysis, we got rid of the guy, have given 28 million people the chance to have an open government (if they eventually can keep it), free press, freedom of speech, freedom to live without fear of torture, execution, proved the UN is inept and corrupt along with France, Germany and Russia and have a launching point for further action (can anyone say Syria?) if necessary. Slam dunk by this patriot's count.

Danger came from ignoring world government resolutions? Don't conservatives want the US out of the UN so we don't follow UN resolutions we disagree with?
