Tim,

re: Hopefully you've noticed a slight difference in goals between kicking Saddam out of Kuwait and kicking him out of power in Iraq.

The major difference that I note is the justification. WMD's? Still buy that, like you did before? Threat to the US? Still buy that, like you did before?

SH was an aggressor in 1991. The policy put in place by Bush #1 and continued through Clinton had made him impotent.

Now if the US had worked through NATO and the UN and said this guy is a humanitarian nightmare, maybe we could have put together a coalition that would have figured a way to knock him out. Maybe it wouldn't have been a war, maybe it would have been a war. Regardless, if the world was united on this thing, I think that the situation would be far different.
