Anyone who doesn't agree to invade a sovereign country that may
(although we can't prove it yet) have a few containers of nerve
gas on hand, and thus probably embroil an entire region, kill
tens, possibly hundreds of thousands and cost us hundreds of
billions of dollars minimum is a coward? You have a pretty
screwy value system
Whoever would attack on the current mostly lack of grounds is an
irresponsible beligerent. A country that proposes to do so is
acting in a rogue manner.
The tyranny of this particular madman is one that we supported
for a lot of years as long as Saddam was going after those we
wished him to. To imply we are lily white and are ridding the
world of a dangerous lunatic or that he has any really worrisome
power capable of being a real threat to us is more than a little
disingenuous.
