"There was only one reason to let him stay in power at least for the time being. That is we have enough to do weeding out al queda operatives and stabilizing afghanistan."

Thanks for putting your reasoning out to discuss. In my view you are underestimating our power, and we can do both operations at once. It also appears that you believe we should have taken him out, but done it later. So that is comforting. Maybe if more who thought like you jumped on board to get the situation under control now that the decision has been made, there will be less bloodshed for U.S. forces and the Iraqis. And they can have a chance to show the world that a middle eastern society is capable of handling freedom and democracy. I think that what many fear (especially those most fervently against us) is that they will succeed, and the hated Bush will have done good. That will be very painful for many.
