How long had it been that we renewed efforts to get Saddam to comply with UN resolutions? It was just a few months. Saddam had been back burnered by the Clinton administration. A mistake (see that's how you admit you were wrong). We had only just sent the inspectors back. Why not continue to turn up the heat if Saddam was not a threat to attack the US? Oh that's right we thought he was going to invade New Jersey any day. Yeah right. jb

12 years? We had been bombing military installations and "no fly"ing him and sanctioning him for 12 years. There was nothing left to be afraid of. Only an obligation to keep a close eye on the straw-ng man, and an obligation to the Iraqi people to free them from the oppression of Saddam without bombing the civilian areas and killing 100,000 people. Much more could have been done for Iraq, more effectively than the messy invasion we conducted. We're a long way from peace in Iraq. And the new enemy is us? How the hell can that happen to the "liberator"? Orca
