Like him and his idiology or not, realize that a lot of Americans agree with the President of the United States. Not that we want to go to war or want to piss off the rest of the globe, we realize that at some point you have to put up or shut up. Sodam Insane would like nothing more than to kill a few million Amercan civillians and run the west into the econimic sewer (right where the Middle East is). Something must be done to prevent that from happening, be it containment or elimination.



The abysmal foreign policy of the US over the past 50 years has lead us to this point. It is not the sole responsibility of any politician or political party but the net effect of a half century of supporting the thug that liked us and undermining the thug that didn't. American policy has always favored American interest. Guess what, that is how Sodam Insane rose to power. We used him to keep Iran and it's radical mullahs in check after the 1979 revolution. We ought take out the bastard and apologize to the whole darn region for creating him in the first place. Problem is, what thug will we put in power next? See, its a vicious cycle.



Rather than criticise the ambitions and intentions of the leaders of the US, perhaps Europe and the Middle East should look upon the situation and come up with a few of its own ideas for fixing it. Appeasement, inaction and the status quo are not the answer (see Hitler). There will be no overnight solution, in fact it may take decades to fix, but the region is in shambles and needs a rennisance (sp?) badly. The right answer may not even be in the best interest of the United States, but one that adds security and stability to the region is certainly better than the alternative. Think globally, act globally.
