"It's one thing to try and impose your morality on someone else, it's quite another thing when you succeed in that imposition and send them a bill for your services."

Currently, we are charging Saddam for the expenses we incur while maintaining the fly over restrictions and economic sanctions. Our morality is that he can't make a weapon of mass destruction, but we can target and CAUSE the deaths of millions of innocent children and villagers in the regions lying outside of his regime to "make a point." So, far the point hasn't been made with Saddam since he'd be happy to have those villagers out of his hair anyway.
