I have been thinking about it for at least 50 seconds, and I still like the idea of taking out Saddam and whipping the arab world around pretty good and pretty soon in order to convert them into frequently loyal allies. Look at how much better the Germans, Japanese and Italians are since we whipped them. It took, and lasted, too.

Look at how much better the Germans, Japanese and Italians are since we whipped them. It took, and lasted, too. True, but we're still over there. How much has it cost us to coddle this pack of fools and protect them from our/their enemies over the decades?
Can we really afford to keep supporting this? At what point will they have to look out after themselves? Will they be able to do it when that time comes?
