Collectively one could find an outlet. Bomb the hell out of another country - pick one or two, it does not matter which. It sure didn't seem to bother Saddam when he ransacked Kuwait, now did it?? It will go down in history that one of the major mistakes of the 1990s was the failure to overthrow Saddam Hussein as punishment for invading Kuwait. Because it greatly weakened the credibility and authority of the UN, leading to tremendous overt corruption within its organization as they were flooded with oil for food revenues. And because it has created the incredibly stupid argument that people such as yourself commonly use, that somehow Bush's decision to enforce UNSC binding resolutions was just a whim on his part.. It makes it look as if there hasn't been 13 years of intransigence on Saddam's part, and 13 years of futile attempts to make him comply with the cease fire accords that conditionally permitted him to remain in power.
