Rob, <On the contrary, it will tie up thousands of troops in "nation building" that Bush said he was opposed to when he ran for office.>

A lot has changed since Bush ran for office. Nation-building is no longer an overly expensive luxury, but a necessity whenever we pursue a policy of regime change.

I guess the question remains: What would be the cost of leaving Saddam alone, or even containing him? If that outweighs the cost of "nation-building," then I'd argue for the latter.
