The problem is Teribus, there are lots of nasty people in the world.

Now why pick on Iraq?

Why not go rescuing the Burmese people - suffering under a dictatorship. Or the Zimbabweans, who are dying of starvation as their country suffers under a dictator. Thousands if not millions have died in the Congo region of Africa. Wny not send a task/invasion force there instead of pussyfooting around?

Is it the job of the USA just to go around putting the wrongs of the world right? If you believe it is then a little consistency might be appropriate.
