That may be true, but at an incredible "cost" in terms of Iraqi and American lives. Was it worth it?

People are outraged when drive-by shooters from some crime ring spray bullets into a crowded restaurant and take out 20 innocent bystanders along with the 1 or 2 intended targets. I know I feel that way. Don't other people??? or do they just think.. "Oh well, at least there are 2 less criminals in the world so it was worth it."

I'm just amazed that people are still trying to justify massive takings of human lives on the basis of catching one frigging hoodlum dictator.

Frankly, I'm appalled at the whole thing. Makes me sick inside when I hear how the "perps" in this administration egged each other on and mowed down arguments from the UN that sanctions and inspections were working against the build-up of WMD. In retrospect, it's all looking just like what I thought it was... a bunch of drunk-on-power imbeciles who sat around hatching their big invasion plan without considering other possibilities or consequences... Just like a bunch of drunken teenagers who go out and steal a car to go for a joy ride that ends in a big "car bonfire" on a deserted road. Seems really smart at the time, but not so damned smart the next morning when they have to walk a few miles home with everyone wondering why the hell they did it in the first place.
