But let's face it: the world is better off without Saddam. Does America's unilateralism amount to imperialism? Is it better to have a regime in Iraq that supports rape, torture, mass murder, and terrorism than an America that actually flexes its muscle for good once in a while? Isn't it better to take care of the Iraq problem now before it becomes a North Korea problem?

I think its better to stay out of ther people's business. Interfering comes from arrogance and its arrogance that got us into this mess. What's good for an American is not necessarily what's good for anyone else.

Keep it honest! We're there because of the oil and all sorts of other trumped up reasons but don't tell me we did because its what's best for the Iraqis.

Ten,

re: But let's face it: the world is better off without Saddam.

I agree. (BTW, it appears he's still there, talking into a tape recorder).

It's the old question, does the end justify the means? And the means in this case is a bunch of kids lives, a mortgage on the future of fiscal US, trashing NATO, trashing the UN, a bunch of political BS fed to the US public...

You may think it's worth it, I don't.
