The questions are, is he a real threat to the US, does it merit a full scale war or is there an alternative, does a full war have the support of the world, and last and most important, does it have the support of the American public. Is there an alternative? What alternative do you think there is? The American People aren't always the best judges of when war is appropriate and when it is not. That's why we have to have strong leaders who can make these judgments even when the political support isn't there. I can't think of a worse idea than war by democracy.
