Perhaps Start WWIII ? No, we reserved the right after the first war.. which never really ended... to go in and continue the disarmament of a despot.... Our Administration has exercised that duty... when the rest of the world abdicated their responsibility...
With these idiot demonstrators getting violent... I would bet that more people are hurt and killed by and because of the "peace niks" than will be killed by the war.... sad.. that's what is sad..

Well said. I can certainly relate to and agree with your frustration. I didn't want this war to happen, either, but at some point the 'last resort' really becomes the 'last resort.' People (in this country as well as others) calling us trigger-happy war-mongers don't seem to remmeber or realize that the issue of Iraqi disarmament is not a new one. We didn't give diplomacy a half-hearted attempt over a few months - we tried for 12 years to get the job done.
