I was talking about physical danger not cultural danger. I would not support the idea of an attack on Iraq if the danger was thought to be Iraq's cultural influence. Esp. because the attack is unlikely to stop the cultural influence. I would not support an attack that is so likely to fail.

I said I would have supported taking the communists out in the Soviet Union in say 1950 if it would have been easy reasonably safe to do so (and of course it would have been neither). This is just based on the practical results. If it was easy and simple and safe then the invasion simply would have made the world a better and safer place.
