If there is a will, there is a way, This remark makes no sense. We spent 12 years trying to get Saddam to comply with the UN requirements. There was a will, but there was no way. Ultimately, his forceful removal was necessary. And it is now clear to most people that his removal was a catalyst for postive change in the region that may accomplish the one thing you droned on about for months -- a resolution to the Palestinian crisis. Yet, you're still unhappy with Bush. The reality is that no matter what Bush does, you'll criticize him because he is of the wrong political party. These things don't happen by fiat; they happen because someone intervenes with extreme force.

The topic was Iraqi babies ... I suppose babies weren't around when Saddam had the Kurd's villages gassed, or when he shelled and strafed the Shias in the south, or when he had his government take control of most of the wealth of Iraq and spend a large part of it on things like weapons and palaces rather then food and medicine. As for the question could we have contained Iraq - Well yes we could have at least for a time, but in the meantime the Iraqi people would still be suffering with Saddam and sanctions and the war might have only been delayed.
