shucks, KLP, too many what ifs for me in that. What if we hadn't gone in, and just kept him contained? What if we had been a little less in your face to the UN, and even more compromising in our efforts to get support from others? What if we had gone after the other countries who support terrorism? This action compounded our difficulties with other countries, has limited our resources to respond to other threats, and has divided the country, not to mention the verdict is still out on whether we really will leave Iraq any better off and at what final cost to us.
I've never been a Bush lied person and I know of no one who was claiming Saddam had never had WMD or still had the desire for them. The situation never reached the level (for me) to justify preemptive war. It seems to be a common misperception here that because one didn't support the war at that time for those reasons, one therefore was some sort of pacifistic PC-governed bleeding heart liberal. It may be easier to believe that, but it is not accurate.
