Karen,
You know that this may be the real reason why we go. Drones and poisons and a willingness to do this dirty work is reason enough. Add nukes in a year or two, if he deems them better and as Jackie Gleason used to say "and away we go".
Also this points out why this is different than NK. In the mideast, there are relgious and nationalist forces in play that will lead to use of these weapons, perhaps first in israel but also in other arab countries. And if the US intervenes, beyond.
In NK their desire is to neutralize our influence in a way that allows them to survive. Immediately NK may be more dangerous but it can be resolved because there is no korean bin laden or korean saddam intent on conquering the region. Even SK is probably more valuable to the North in its current form as economic success story than if it were conquered. Make any sense? mike
