The chances of Iraq being "destroyed" by an invasion are not as clear as the chances of Iraq being "destroyed" if we don't. How do you figure that Iraq will be destroyed by inaction? The only reasons I have been given for inaction are fear, or moral corruption. Your position seems to be fear. I hope I'm correct. Since I represent an opposition view, I must be either morally suspect or craven? Come on, Derek, those are from the administration's worst side "you're either for us or you're against us" tactics and will not wash in a rational give and take debate. From our position as undisputed world super duper power, we have nothing to fear from anyone, except the thought that we will be fighting the war on terrorism to the end of days if we follow our present line of eradication only thinking. Actively opposing terrorism is a whole new concept to us and will require whole new ways of thinking to find a solution, IMHO.
