12 years isn't "rushing in"....and having more coalition nations than we had during the Gulf I war, isn't exactly without agreement. And, I personally believe the world no longer has the right to be critical of the US actions. The countries that did not become part of the "coalition of the willing", do not, and never did intend to help rid Iraq and the world of Saddam Hussein. The world, by not acting in the 12+ years they have known what a monster he was (if we are lucky, it is "was")....is guilty of condoning Saddam's behavior, IMO. It is the UN that has failed. Not the US. And that includes Russia, Germany and France as having failed rid Iraq of Saddam. Maybe the survivors of the victims of Saddam can sue the UN nations that did nothing during the past 12 years to help insure their families were not killed by Saddam the murderer. Because we rushed in alone, "the job" will be examined by the world
