It's not that as much as we'll never get to say "I told you so." Anyone who denies that Sadaam is a threat is being completely ignorant, theĽ just don't want to do something about it. Ignorence is bliss. Stay out of things, and it'll all be fine.
The records are there. We know Sadaam's history, and we know he has weapons now. As Powell said, we have 15 countries with us, however, there are still those who oppose. There are some people like that, who don't think anything is worth war. Why can't a chemical warhead ever land on the anti-war protests?
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he will fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill
Now, the problem with attacking Iraq is tha we will never know what would have come. Those who understand Sadaam Hussein know that it's probably a good thing. But those Anti-Americans that oppose the war will always be there saying the war was for oil, and to finish Daddy's job. Idiots. Either way, I'd rather have to listen to some damn liberals bitch than see the destruction that would come from Sadaam.
Blix:
"The (Iraqi weapons report) document indicates that 13,000 chemical bombs were dropped by the Iraqi air force between 1983 and 1998; while Iraq has declared that 19,500 bombs were consumed during this period. Thus, there is a discrepancy of 6,500 bombs. The amount of chemical agent in these bombs would be in the order of about 1,000 tons. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we must assume that these quantities are now unaccounted for."
Doesn't that bring happy thoughts.
