UN resolutions = Treaty of versailles. Is your argument that we should have acted back in the 90s to overthrow saddams regime when he first started breaking the terms of surrender? But there may have more casualties back then as saddam may still have had wmds and a less degraded military. OR perhaps the same results as this war, unless we rebuilt the coalition which wouldnt have happened either. I am not getting what you are trying to say. I think if we had acted earlier you would be whining about iraqi casualties just as you are today. mike

In my little analogy, the United States did what the Allies should have done back then: gave him a chance to comply, then honored the ultimatum.

Comparing pre-WWII Germany to pre-invasion Iraq is like comparing the Beatles to Oasis.
