Hi LindyBill, something I like to do when examining my own position, is to take the opposing position and go through the same questions. It's interesting to see those who oppose military action in Iraq, have neglected to pose the same questions they insist the other side answer.

For instance, if we don't take out the Iraqi regime, what kind of a nation will Iraq be one, two, or five years from now? How will they move away from dictatorship and toward democracy? What plan do they have to end the barbaric human rights abuses there? How will keeping Saddam in power lead to a more peaceful world, where WMD are less likely to be used as an instrument of terror? How will Saddam growing more affluent and more powerful lead to a safer more prosperous Middle East? Finally, how will terrorism be prevented with Hussien still in power?

When I examine those questions, and attempt to answer them under a realistic assessment process, the answer that Saddam must go becomes even more obvious.
