Actually, I think the question is silly. When a society is controlled for decades by a roughless killing dictator, who also controls what they see, hear and read, it's easy to go down that road and falsey believe it leads somewhere. Would the Germans or Japanese have voted for us to engage their troops and remove their leaders from power? As you can see, pretty silly.

The measurement is the vote. Our congress and the President voted to remove Hussein from power. We had the arguments; we had the debates and then decided. The decision was further clarified by a re-election.

Any other way to conduct business is to support some form of dictatorial rule. Is that what you support? Would you rather have dictatorial rule in order to make decisions of war? Or perhaps you would rather turn over that decision making process to the U.N. or some other body?

I doubt anyone here will answer that question.
