Perhaps the best course of action for the U.S. would be for us to completely withdraw from the situation. Bring our troops back home, and let Germany, France, and those few nations that do not see Saddam as a threat handle the situation.

Well, that would be a start. Why are we in the USA so sure of Saddam's immediate threat to us when his neighbors are not? And don't tell me about the twin towers tragedy. That was not Hussein! If it were, the evidence would be blazoned across our foreheads.

So we go in and blast Iraq into a imitation of Afghanistan- and we will not have addressed one imminent problem of terrorism. Other than our own. We will have killed tens of thousands of people whose only crime is that they don't like us. But by God we will have gotten the Big Bastard, who dared plot against somebody's daddy. (Or will we? We haven't found bin Laden, now have we.)
