"Ideally? The US would have waited until a clear attack by Iraq on the US or its forces" No, no. I think they were on the right course. And I think it was definitely time to mobilize a war machine and put elements in place while negotiations continued. Regardless of WMD, it was time to address the very real threats that were manifesting. Nobody is suggesting you ought to have waited till you were nuked. But the American people have sincere differences of opinion--and I find it difficult to believe that half the population is retarded? "Maybe the democracies should restrict this sort of thing to each other." Now there is a thought... And when you were helping Iran by giving them the Shah--same thing. You gotta stop all this helping, Laz! <g>
