T, if none of this had happened, we would be richer by nearly 4000 military lives, Iraq would be richer by tens to maybe hundreds of thousands of civilian lives. Iraq would be a whole nation as it was before US & in a much healthier state Yes, even under Saddam). I could go on but you get the point, right??????
The US would not be getting ready to file chapter 11 nor would it be split nor wor would it be hated by the rest of the world.

A pre-empted move because of what you think Iran may or may not plan is just as wrong & as poor a choice as the pre-empted move GWB made. You are kindred spirits, may you both someday backdown, backout & backup because neither of you have been going forward in a healthy direction.
