"What if your country was threatened with dominated by a group of individuals who's vision of the future is to turn them into suicide bombers bent on worldwide Jihad, insuring that there would be no place you could find sanctuary from their totalitarian and repressive vision of the future?"

First, that was not the case in Iraq. It had one of the most secular governments in the region, and the means and willingness to keep it secular.

Second, whether or not iraqis can find sanctuary is their lookout. I would certainly put what pressure I could on their government, but I would not invade.

Did we invade apartheid South Africa? Do we invade the many nations in Africa where people are brutalized on a scale that Saddam never even imagined?
