Dennis, The cost in Iraq needs to be weighed against the costs of the most likely result of the continuation of pre 2002 policies vis-a-via Iraq: eroding sanctions leading to the end of sanctions altogether, perhaps legally, perhaps for all intents and purposes. Then Saddam would have had his oil revenues and been free to go shopping. Consider the willing selliers: AQ Khan and Kim Jong Il. And of course Saddam would have been a willing buyer. Of course Saddam would have been triumphant, and the rest of the Gulf would have reacted accordingly. Can you just dismiss the idea, knowing what we now know? Was that a positive future we were looking forward to? The costs of action must always be weighed against the costs of inaction.
