" Saddam been left in place"--leave it to you, Teribus, to posit a false choice. There were plenty of unhappy Iraqis who might well have toppled him. They could have--and should have--been supported by the US and UK. He might well have had severe health problems which weakened him"--and then been removed. Look at what he turned out to be when captured--an old man. UN inspections--which were proceeding--could well have kept any nascent WMD program from getting off the ground.


Pardon me if I refuse to play your little either/or game.

You'll have to do better.
