If you view the attack as wrong then it probably doesn't matter what the complications or problems will be, you just oppose it. I think we're a long way from anything that would be termed "messy". All the current rhetoric notwithstanding, I believe we'll continue to pursue a covert action to get rid of Saddam. But even if we do end up going to war, I believe it likely we'll start off with surgical strikes (which we're much more capable of today versus 10 years ago) directed first at military facilities and then at places where intelligence has indicated we'll get Saddam. All this focus on Saddam concerns me, as the focus ought to be on the WMD. Getting rid of Saddam doesn't address the real problem, as it is a fact we don't know who will follow him.
