What's amazing is those who are unable to see another point of view without placing some kind of black white label on them, or painting pictures of Vietnam everywhere.

Some would simply say the greater risk was playing the Hussein lottery and allowing him to continue collecting billions from back door oil deals and funneling that money into terrorist organizations around the world.

Some would simply say the greater risk was time and the belief that support for sanctions would erode as nations like France and Russia would no longer support U.N. mandates.

Some would simply say the higher risk lottery was allowing Saddam to remain in power, where he was free to grow another generation of hate for humanity Baathist thugs.

Some would simply say the greater risk was allowing Saddam to remain in power and give terrorists a safe haven to export their murder.

Some would say it was only a matter of time and effort until Hussein built a nuclear bomb and detonated one over Kuwait, Saudi Arabia or Iran.

Some would say that was a far riskier lottery. Thankfully, that "some" was a majority of Americans and the murdering tyrant regime of Saddam Hussein is not longer able to torture, kill, rape and murder at will in order to remain in power. I'm glad we didn't play your lottery. Because, my children will live in a much safer and prosperous world and millions of children yet to be born will live in a free Iraq. Free from being tortured and killed for the pleasure of one man.
