I read a lot of arguments, and they are mostly anything but cogent.

The one question NONE of these people can respond to is:

"What happens if you are wrong, and Saddam DOES develop a nuke and deliver it to NYC in a shipping container" via Turkey?

Assuming there is a 0.001% chance of this happening, the consequences of being wrong are staggering. The answer is, of course, easy, but difficult to mouth: EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING HAPPENS. The United States, as we know it, ceases to exist. The economy is destroyed. People can no longer function. The healthcare system crashes. Freedom is over.

I've yet to hear an opponent give a thoughtful response -- from Dennis Kucinich all the way down to Ted on this board. Not one of them has a response. Because there is no conceivable acceptable answer.

What if WE are wrong? Big Deal. We get rid of a dictator and mass murderer, and everyone will be glad we did it.

A classic no-lose situation. No downside.
