I think that anything that happens to Saddam will be far too good for him, but saying that it's his fault we launched "the first war without direct provocation in our nation's history,*" is granting him a lot of power over our country.

Like Ollie said to Stan, "See what you made me do?"

And who will be to blame for making us attack them next ? Those other Axis of Evil guys, N. Korea and Iran? Our allies Kuwait and Saudi Arabia? Why not? All those and more are oppressive governments long overdue for regime changes. How much of the world will we be forced to fight?

I'm for getting rid of all those bad guys, but not at the cost of our traditional American principles. To become monstrous because one is fighting monsters is to lose the battle immediately.
