You seem to be asking for guarantees. There are no guarantees. What guaraneees did Churchil have, in standing virtually alone vs. advancing German armies? If things turned differently, Britain could have lost half its population fighting losing war. Dang! You're making me sick. You all recall all these great war heroes to dramatically make your point.......as if the situations are analogous. They are not. Winston Churchill's England was under siege. Most of Europe had fallen and they was fighting for their lives. There is nothing analogous to the Iraq war. What Z said still stands........it may be worth starting a pre emptive war if you can guarantee the outcome. Otherwise, its a fool's game; the fool being GW Bush.....who's name will go down in infamy. You all can blather all you want but no one is falling for that BS........not again. FOOL ME ONCE SHAME ON YOU, FOOL ME TWICE, SHAME ON ME!

But it is not known, it can't be known ahead of time how things will turn out. You're comparing apples and oranges... in a war of choice, the war should damn well make the world a much better place and achieve the goals set out for it or heads should roll among those who came up with the idea. There was no "advancing German army" in this day and age. That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it. -Z
