You know as well as I do that Iraq poses a clear and CONSTANT direct danger to Israel. MOST of the Arab/Muslim states do. I can't think of anyone better suited to take down Saddam or anyone having more justification. WE, on the other hand, appear to be more bent on "Nation Building," or empire building, to the detriment of our direct war on terrorists. Therein lies the difference. I tend to very much agree with Dr. Paul on this.

What makes you think that the presidents reason for removing Sadaam from power is Nation Building or empire building?? That was the reason for Haiti and Bosnia, but it's not the case here.

I've been reading the words of his adviser, Condoleeza Rice.

Perhaps we should finish what we started in Haiti so first to prove ourselves equal to the task of "nation-building" before embarking in haste elsewhere to depose dictators and "democratize" other nations.
