Hi Michael D. Cummings; Re: "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? ..."

Iraq is a big nation, and its problems, its future, and its current situation are very complicated. I, by contrast, am only one man, with few problems.

Since you are qualified to solve Iraq's problems for it, could you help me out financially and tell me what stocks I should buy? This should be a much simpler problem for you. Furthermore, I can take or reject your advice according as I see fit. With Iraq, you would have to use force. So it seems much more moral to me that you should spend your efforts making me better off instead of trying to rescue all those millions of Iraqis.
