I always assumed the possibility we would have trouble finding WMDs. I must have posted my fears a dozen times in the weeks leading up to the war. I never had any doubts about the need for the war, and neither do most Americans.

There is an intuitive understanding that a mass murderer, once out from under the thumb of U.N. inspections, will spend the rest of his days making trouble for the U.S. It takes no great brainpower to see that Saddam would have the means and the motive to support terrorism against Israel directly, and against the U.S. indirectly. Fortunately, 60% of Americans agree with me.

Anyway, genocide was the reason for bombing Serbia and we haven't in five years found nearly the number of mass graves we have found in Iraq in five weeks.

Well, 50 million frenchmen can't be wrong.

That's a joke. Look it up.

FWIW, Saddam never messed with the US at all until we bailed out Kuwait in 1990 (who, incidentally, paid us back by masterminding the 9/11 attacks -- gotta love those Kuwaitis!!)

We may have created this Monster, but howzabout we not create any more? What's wrong with that idea?

True... but Serbia shoulda never been bombed at all... so I fail to see your point.
