The real question that the United Nations, the US Congress, and the American people need to be addressing now is whether we are willing and able, not only to eliminate Saddam Hussein (we surely are), but whether we are prepared to commit the resources necessary to insure that once Saddam Hussein is history, the people of Iraq find their situation actually improved.

Bullsh*t. We are not on a mission to improve the lives of Iraqi citizens. That might happen, but if it does it will be a pleasant accident.

This guy talks like the objective here is to remove Saddam Hussein so we can send in the Department of Health and Human Services to bring those poor, downtrodden Iraqis the same benefits enjoyed by our own citizens in Cabrini Green.

Well, no it's not. If we go in there to take out Saddam, it will be because we have concluded that his policy set includes developing nuclear and biological weapons, and using them on us... either directly or through his friends in terrorist places.

We do not need a plan for turning Iraq into paradise in order to justify defending ourselves from nuclear or biological attack. What rubbish that argument is.

You should think more before you write. Has it ever occured to you what the consequences would be if we simply entered Iraq, took out Saddam and destroyed the WMD, and then just left, leaving the country in total anarchy?
