BTW if Bush is so black and white on "evil" dictators and terorists out there why hasn't be already invaded North Korea, Cuba, Myammar, Iran, Syria, Beirut, etc.

Obviously we have finite resources. For all we know one or more of these may be on a list. You can believe that if Bush gives any of these countries an ultimatum, they will take it very seriously - because he has backed his words up with force in the past. An opponent of the Iraq war - even a retroactive opponent - wouldn't have this credibility.

Notice the one country he did invade and commit ourselves to holding onto was the easy one with the most oil, and he repeatedly lied about why he was going in.

This country sits on the Persian Gulf and we were already involved in maintaining sanctions and no-fly zones there.

I would add that in fulfilling those UN approved duties our planes were being shot at on a daily basis. Frankly, war against Iraq would have been justified just on that alone - firing at our forces is an act of war after all.
