I understand you wouldn't intentionally do so, but you're discounting other variables in your process. Like I said, if Saddam presented a minuscule risk, something greater than zero, but not by much, you seem to think we're justified in defending ourselves. The problem is that by defending ourselves from a possible minuscule threat, we've ended up killing a lot of Iraqi civilians in reality. Just as you propose there could be consequences for not acting, there are consequences for acting. Do you see what I mean?
