No, rampant ethnic cleansing is what the Kurds experienced under Saddam's rule, so I wouldn't trade one diabolical murdering spree for another. We could invent all kinds of scenarios and play hypothetical games until the crows fly home, but it wouldn't really get us anywhere. I'll play one and see if you will answer. If we didn't go into Iraq and a clear link was found to exist between Saddam and a nuclear explosion killing millions in Chicago, would you regret not going to war? The reality is we would have to move toward a horrific future condition in Iraq to be worse than Saddam's rule. He directly or indirectly killed millions. And the world is a heck of a lot safer without him in control of the vast oil wealth of the area. The majority of the country just voted to stay the course in Iraq (over 60 million). So, your notions are nothing but wishful thinking. Even Kerry ran on staying the course. The only radicals who ran on leaving Iraq immediately lost and lost big in the primaries. Why do think that was?
