re: No we weren't. Yes, we were. You're better off thinking of the costs and benefits to the people of the planet when thinking of Iraq. If it were only about US lives, the US would leave immediately, and let the poor bastards go up in flames. If you want to go global, a next step is how does it effect the people of the Middle East. Is it helpful to have a "gates of hell" terrorist country in the middle of the Middle East? A possible civil war, sucking in the ethnic and religious neighbors? If you want to go farther out, you might want to ask the subway riders in London and Madrid. Iraq was a broken down secular and weak dictatorship. We made it what it is today. Our argument is what it will become, and I don't think we can resolve that difference except by observing it over time. John
