"beardedbruce - So why is it the U.S. didn't go it alone in Rwanda?"

THAT is the question I was asking.

"I also want to know this (since you are so good with statistices):

What do you think the number killed by Saddam + the number that might possibly be killed if the U.S. withdraws might total? "

too many

Add to that the loss of American freedoms + a deeply divided U.S. + the cost of the war, + loss of American credibility in the international community.

Who are the losers? "

You did forget the number killed by all the WMD of Iraq's stockpile that may be used in the future.....
