If attacking Iraq means sacrificing lives here at home, including potentially my loved ones or even myself, I think it's inevitable. And acting now will probably SAVE countless lives down the road. Plus, it would mitigate the deterrent value of WMDs, as other counties would see that we're willing to absorb those losses for the greater good of destroying their regimes.

I couldn't agree more. I've been saying almost exactly this same thing for weeks now.

I think an important clue was when President Bush, in the State of the Union address, indicated that he would not leave problems for future administrations to handle. Those are the words of someone who governs from his heart, rather than from polls or conventional wisdom. I am so glad that we have term limits for the office of the President. I shudder to imagine Bill Clinton in office during these times. Even Al Gore would be decidedly preferable to Clinton.
