While that seems to be the popular consensus... only history will be able to determine if Hussein, for example, might have turned out to be the Hitler of the Middle East. Neville Chamberlain made peace with Nazi Germany... Apeasement... a bad move in retrospect. I wonder what an early entry into what became WWII would have accomplished. Afterall, at that point the Luftwaffe was flying squadrons of biplanes painted on opposite sides with different squadron markings to make the apparent arms capabilities double... An early confrontation might have spared Europe that conflagration.

Who can say, without a doubt, that removing Hussein as the leader of Iraq hasn't averted a far more dire consequence.

I can. The SAS could have brought him down in a flash but no, those who govern us wanted the 'glory'. The 2 B's wanted to look heroic and it was mainly symbolisim that has gone horribly wrong. What kind of legacy have they left behind? Peace makers or tyrants?

Who would you chose to invade? Pick your war.
Kuwait and Iraq's war. Key word. Oil.
Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe. Keywords. No Oil.

You're arguing against my statement because you would have preferred him assassinated.. but you haven't said it would have been better to leave him in power.

So are you agreeing with me or not?
