It's a reasonably stated version of the usual troll position...and there's a case to be made there, if one completely forgets 9/11 and refuses to see the clear link between states like Saddam's and the evolution of Islamic terrorism.

It's the Clinton attitude that if you just give lip service to true self-defense, and otherwise ignore the bad guys, or insist on an unreasonably high burden of proof first (unless you're in trouble for getting Lewinskys in the Oval office) they'll go away on their own. Mouth some harsh rhetoric condemning a bombing and the loss of innocent life, and go back to your golf game or mistress--gosh, it's not like there won't be someone else along to clean up the mess, right? You only get 8 years at most, so leave it to the next guy....

It's like telling a rape victim not to testify...sooner or later the perp will change his ways on his own, and not rape anyone else. Someone else will fix the problem. I'm BUSY.

What we did for Iraq is the best thing any country has EVER done for any other country, and if the libs can't see it, that's too bad. They can keep worrying about the WMD, the supposed erosion of civil rights (I personally haven't experienced any) and political purposes. This was pure goodness, and it has the added advantage of being pragmatic. Nobody is going to mess with us again soon, thinking they can get away with it. They WILL be assuming accounting will follow. We're not safe, but we're safer.
