A couple more thoughts:
I think the humanitarian argument for initiating a war doesn't fly because it is
selective. If we were driven by this, then we would intervene far more often in the
world than we do. And frankly, when it was to our perceived benefit to support Saddam
against Iran, we took them off the list of countries who supported terrorists and
began helping to build them economically and militarily.
And the argument that a regime change is necessary for the safety of Americans...I'm
still waiting for someone to explain how launching an attack will make us safer? Has
our intervention and involvement in the middle east *ever* made us safer? CIA
director George Tenet has said an attack may provoke Saddam to use biological and
chemical weapons and convince him to begin in earnest to support terrorist attacks
against americans.
