<<<Sanctions were failing>>> Perhaps we didn't know better, but knowing what we know now, there are no WMD in Iraq. I am absolutely certain Saddam Hussein is an evil person, but I am not sure he would not turn on Islam or the Arab people if he benefited. As I recall we used him against Iran sometime ago. But even if you are right that Saddam Hussein wished he could harm us with WMD, the fact is he didn't have WMD. We can't go around killing people that wish us harm (at least I don't think so). By any standards of logic, knowing what we know now, the sanctions were working. There are no WMD in Iraq (I am not quite sure of that in Iran). <<<since only there would the people support our invasion.>>> Perhaps we didn't know better, but knowing what we know now, the Iraqi people do not want us there. What will it take for the Iraqi people to prove to you that they do not want us there? <<< there was no price to be paid for attacking America, would be reinforced. >>> Perhaps we didn't know any better, but knowing what we know now, Iraq had no connection to 911. The 911 commission has clearly stated that. The President has supported the 911 commission report. What will it take to change your mind? <<<If America could win in Iraq, the Arabs would once again acquire some respect (ie fear) for American power.>>> Who else share this opinion? Can you cut and paste some credible people of any stripe who believes in this? What if you are wrong and now more than 1 billion people hate us and are willing to commit suicide to hurt us?
