RE:" agree with Saturn - what if this incites even more terrorism?
War kills people - and it might increase the likelihood for recruitement of terrorists. The LT answer isn't bombs that might incite recruitment & terrorism, but rather jobs, integration, and removal of repression"

Few people really want war but sometimes you just have to clean it up before it gets worse.

As for this inciting more terroist attacks. Maybe but ask youself what war incited 9/11? The fact is that we are at war now and have been and it's the jihad.

After Iraq Bush will have the opportunity to clean up more problems in the middle east like the Palestinian problem. I hope he follows through.

Amy,
I'll try to add some history to your partisan worries. I bet you was gung-ho going into Bosnia.

"Congress has already spoken on this matter, and we have spoken clearly. In 1998 we passed the Iraqi Liberation Act, and President Clinton signed it, declaring our national policy to be a change of regime in Baghdad. Last October, after extensive debate, the Senate adopted by a vote of 77-23, which authorized the President to' …use the Armed Forces of the United States…to defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq, and to enforce all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq.'

1998:Explaining the Clinton administration's arguments for military action at that time, Mr. Daschle said at a news conference on Feb. 11, 1998, "Look, we have exhausted virtually all our diplomatic effort to get the Iraqis to comply with their own agreements and with international law. Given that, what other option is there but to force them to do so? That's what they're saying. This is the key question. And the answer is we don't have another option. We have got to force them to comply militarily."
