Well, you pose a question with an hypothesis that I do not believe is so. A strong action in Iraq will prevent anyone else in that part of the world from making trouble for us. The incubation of terrorists for sport and to distract the common folk will become quite untenable. I think that part of the world is populated by a primitive sort of people who respond to force and power. Anything less encourages their manipulative gameplaying and comes across as weak. The Saudis will turn on their own despotic government, not us. And we are the most powerful nation on earth, we need to walk that walk in dealing with these arabs. I do think Saddam is the most dangerous person to us at this point. There are other tyrants not worth dealing with but Saddam is in an entire other league from say Mugabe. Saddam will kill one way or another even without provocation. He will kill for sport and to show he can. He needs to be dead and others of his ilk need to be dead. We need to do it or we will all see something far worse than 911.

Your argument is false on so many levels I won't go into it. But are you now saying that we should just invade Iraq to make a "point" to the rest of the region? Is that what we have sunk too? We just invade countries because it is the most popoular with our ignornant population?
