<< I don't blame the US for all the world's troubles. But, the US is not always right either. >>

Neither is the rest of the world always right. In fact, I am surprised at how few countries are willing to denounce the dictators of the world. The UN is spineless. Most countries don't care. At least, thank God, America does.

<< More countries could have done more, you are right. But - we are supposed to be better here, and our ideals are supposed to push us to do the right thing. >>

Would we have done the right thing to just leave the Iraqis in their misery? Would we have done the right thing to allow Saddam to develop and improve WMD?

The world has sanctions on Saddam because he would not give up his WMD programs.

If Saddam had deliverable and effective WMD, what are the probabilities that he would use them?
