Colin Powell: occupying Baghdad comes at an "unpardonable expense in terms of money, lives lost and ruined regional relationships."

George Bush: "We should not march into Baghdad. . . . To occupy Iraq would instantly shatter our coalition, turning the whole Arab world against us, and make a broken tyrant into a latter-day Arab hero . . . assigning young soldiers to a fruitless hunt for a securely entrenched dictator and condemning them to fight in what would be an unwinnable urban guerrilla war. It could only plunge that part of the world into even greater instability."

It seems like reasonable men could disagree.
