For 12 years Saddam played games with UN Weapons Inspectors. Here is a guy known to use WMD and having previously tried to produce nuclear weapons. We are lucky that he was unable to produce something during that 12 years and give it real terrorists. We are damn lucky. 12 years is a lot of development time and I can't believe we ever risked it.

Re: "A recently released Frenchman said so? LOL. I didnt think neocons took the French very seriously." If Neocons don't, perhaps you should. Me, I'm just an average American Citizen with an opinion. Re: "Totalitarian was demonstrated by your god,..." Not my God, LOL...what a silly non-argument anyway. Re: "Shrub's, decision just today to put people away forever in prison if he didnt like you" LOL..."if he didn't like you." This is just a falsehood on your part, and therefore meaningless to the issue I could be very much concerned about. Re: "You think that they will not set up a theocracy, at some point, whether we are there are not?" Last I knew, we intend to demand they allow religious freedom for the many involved. Good idea, I hope we follow through. Re: "Why again are we supposed to care?" Because of the dying oppressed people and the fact that Jihadists who will attack us and them are there. Re: "Why is it right to spend $100 billion plus for this?" Because it does serve to protect America from terrorist activity. Re: "What is the value we get in exchange for the loss of American troops? The terrorists attacks which don't happen due to our action against their organization and growth. But, you'd rather, I gather, leave the Al Qaeda in Iraq alone now. That'd be stupid on our part, IMO. Dan B.
