Is the cost worth chancing a "maybe" gain? A gain that would still probably be unlasting in that Iraq has been rather volatile for a VERY long time and while probably contunue to be so.

When did the war against Iraq start? Who started it? I am sure we answer those questions differently, and I think that explains our differing views. Just like we came to the aid of Europe in WWII to stop the aggression of Hitler, I think we came to the aid of the Middle East (Kuwait invasion by Iraq) to stop the aggression of Sadaam. Perhaps the current Bush has the resolve to get the job done.
