Come on Kumar...you yourself have railed against inaction in Africa and other places where people are severely oppressed and are being butchered. Surely you saw some need for intervention in the ME. Surely you would not want the world to continue to stand idly by and watch the senseless slaughter. I believe Ghandi said words to the effect of...We cannot change the entire world in one day but we can change part of it everyday. Please keep in mind this armed struggle was brought to us. When the Kuwaitis asked for help...when the Saudis asked us to assist Kuwait...and after dozens of direct attacks against America. Should we have continued to do nothing? Should we have fired more cruise missiles against tents in the desert? After 9/11, we identified the perps...should we have demonstrated against them in Buffalo and Phoenix and asked them to please stop? Clearly decisive action was called for. Clearly it is still called for.
