That's right.........we are seeing a clear example of this approach right now. When there were no WMDs nor al Qa'ida links and therefore no threats to the US, suddenly the emphasis was placed on Saddam, the bad guy......the world is a better place with him gone. And when that wasn't good enough......eventually the sanctions would have been dropped and Saddam would have rebuilt his WMDs. And when that wasn't good enough..........better to draw all the terrorists to Iraq and fight it out there. I agree with this completely, unfortunately it wasn't the pre-war pitch. I don't care if Saddam had zero Al Qaeda links, had zero WMDs, or had zero relationship to 9/11. His elimination is a good thing for the planet and for Iraqis and for Americans, and the only way to achieve it was through force. It's a shame you didn't write the above statement into one of George's pre-war speeches.....
