all the aid, development teams, peace corps volunteers, and NGOs on earth will not do one iota of good in the absence of stable government,

Who can reasonably disagree with that? But I think back on the last 12 years of wasted time spent "containing" Saddam, and can only wonder what might have been had we pushed the issue and overthrown Saddam.

Btw, Ollie North, just reminded me of something I wanted to write the other day. The Europeans might not be backing the US because we may just find out that it was THEIR companies who were selling Saddam the technology to produce this stuff.

That would be kind of embarrassing, to say the least.
