Your assessment is true if the events leading to the war and occupation of Iraq and the history of the region were as simple as a western power just deciding to invade and occupy Iraq. Your assessment is incomplete.

Are you suggesting that if we took no military action against Iraq that you know what would have happened if we had not?

I know why I supported military action to remove Saddam from power, and my views match the views of the Bush administration. I think (speculation) that the alternative, of taking no action, would have been more costly in terms of life and money.

I admit to not knowing what might of happened and I admit that the course of action may have been the wrong course of action, all I know is that you make the best decisions you can make at the time with the information available. I am not sure how others pretend that the decision of no action would have been a morally superior one or would have cost fewer lives and less cost. How do you know that, or are you speculating? And if you are speculating, why is it so difficult to admit that you may be wrong and Bush may be right?
