Amos,

"There are those who feel the LACK of action in Iraq would have lead us to Global Thermonuclear War."


IF we do not take action, THEN we will have a GTW.

Given that the first circumstance DID NOT OCCUR, the validity of the conclusion CANNOT be determined.


Had we NOT taken action, THEN it could be judged valid or invalid.

I happen to consider global thermonuclear war to be wrong, and a BAD THING.
