If the Us was getting rid of them alone- you bet I would say that. The toppling of another countries government should only be done with UN approval, imo. I don't care who the head of the government is- the precedent is the most important thing- and I hate the precedent og allowing a big country to go in and do what it likes to a small country, in disregard of the UN, and its rules - which is what we, the Us did. But then I have always believed that the rule of law gives us most of the stability we enjoy in our modern life. If we had international rules of law, that were stable, I think we all gain a lot from that. Obviously some people want to be cowboys and have the US go it alone. Unfortunately when China and India start using that kind of power, on a large scale, it will be too late for your to say "Oh gosh, I guess we don't want other countries doing what we did..."

But it will be too late then. It's a game of chess- try to look ahead several moves.
