We have to make the best educated guess we can. That's all we can do. The folks who advocate independent US action against Iraq do a good job of describing a potential worst-case scenario for failure to act. What I don't see is equivalent analysis of the risks of action. We need to analyze the outcomes for both action and inaction. Yeah, it may play out as you describe and that wouldn't be good. But neither would be good if terrorism escalates, or Pakistan or Saudi Arabia or Jordan falls, or Muslim countries take up the cause and we have a worldwide holy war, or hate crimes in our country, or... Weigh the risks of inaction against the risks of action and I'll give your opinion more credence.
