John, re:The "worse" is a possible civil war, decreased stability throughout the governments of the middle east, a whole new generation of terrorists, huge US domestic debt, a weakening of the NATO alliance and a strenthening of the European Union, with their own army, an unsustainable US foreign policy, worldwide hatred of the US... ME stability has never been that high, they can barely agree on any single issue other than Israel must die. Terrorism has been increasing for years, going into their backyard to kill them will either reduce it, increase it or focus it's activities to a single region. Of course don't be mislead into thinking it's increasing simply because more of them can now afford the bus ticket to the theatre of battle (Iraq as opposed to the USA). That debt part really sucks - couldn't agree with you more. re:a weakening of the NATO alliance An organization looking for a reason to exist now with the Soviets defeated. re:worldwide hatred of the US.. It's not world wide and it was there before the war, nothing the USA does ever pleases everyone. We can't even make the people on this thread happy. re:Guaranteed there are many more that I can't anticipate You ignore the possibility Iraq will emerge as a powerful semi-democratic country and destablize those non-democratic governments that need reform and help to put an end to ME terrorism.
