Finally, an intelligent non-ranting discussion. Kudos to everyone involved.
Roachboy has produced the clearest analysis I have read. The rationale of the pre-emptive strike falls apart completely due to our utter failure of connecting Saddam Hussein to terrorist acts. It was the basis of an entirely new doctrine and it failed!
If it were not for Americans new belief that "the only thing we have to fear... is everything" there would be a political reckoning. Going to war to show other countries you can't be messed with is the worst possible case for war. Would you give your life for such a rationale?
