1.) There's the monetary cost. 2.) There's the lives lost. 3.) We're recruiting and training thousands of terrorists many of whom will become war-insane. 4.) We've created one of the world's largest urban warfare R&D depts. The insurgents are learning new techniques, perfecting their bomb making skills, etc. When you add it all up the cost seems too high just to get rid of Hussein. Sure he was bad, but he's not worth this. We should've focused on Bin Laden first while slowly gaining support in the UN. Once we had a Powell Doctrine (it was about 9 months away) then we could've gone in and this would be the world's problem. And it would be smaller because it would've been perceive as attacking the world, not America. As it is, it's just seen as attacking America and that draws recruits. Not to mention Iran and North Korea are probably dumping millions into our enemies pockets. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:162399 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
