g_w_north, <They should have gone to Baghdad 10 years ago when they have been UN backing and a solid coalition.>

Removing Saddam from power would have been overstepping the clear goals laid out by the coalition. That would have sparked just as much outrage as that over Dubya's willingness to correct his father's so-called "mistake."

I agreed with the decision of Bush Sr. at the time. It's not a case of moral authority (or the lack thereof); it was a case of sticking to clear goals and going no further. That's usually the best decision, but as we all know, sometimes the "best" decision isn't the right one.

Right now, the "best" decision is to heed international opposition to the invasion of Iraq. But I'm afraid that this won't be the right decision to make. But how can we be sure, except in hindsight?
