So far the Bush administration is holding the high moral ground

Perhaps in the western world. I suspect (based on a few reports I've seen/read) its not the case in the Arab world.

My fear (as I mentioned before), is that the coalition will win the battle to get rid of the Iraqi regime, but may not win the war to change Iraqi government in a desired manner. Time will Tell.

Perhaps you forgot....Iraq has had 12 (twelve) years, and 17 (seventeen) UN Resolutions to heed. And Iraq did agree in 1994 to rid itself of ALL WMD. It did not. Nor did it heed the UN Resolutions. Any of them.

The UN should have had "teeth" in their resolutions. It did not. The US has full right to defend itself against terrorist activity.

Don't forget Bosnia. Bosnia didn't "fire first", so to speak. Bosnia just killed in mass numbers first.

I am assuming you aren't a citizen of the US, or you wouldn't have written what you did, the way you did.

What has your country, and you personally, done about the million and a half, perhaps more, Iraqi citizens who have been murdered by the Saddam thugs? Or do you think that Saddam and Hitler, and Stalin should be allowed to continue with this activity?
