You obviously don't understand Saddam's part in all of this. You don't seem to understand that his bankroll is as thick as the House of Saud. You also don't seem to understand that a meglomaniac like that doesn't get scared. Otherwise, he would have caved by now under the pressure. You also don't seem to understand that he's tied to AQ and Hamas and the other terror organizations. He's behind a fair amount of their tech. Where do you think they can find an open air market to buy and sell weapons, the South Bronx?
Let the coaches coach. They've got a game plan. Among other things, this will weaken the Saudis.
And another thing - you talk about poking a hornet's nest, North Korea has the third largest standing army on the planet and they're all sitting a few miles north of the DMZ!
Worrying about SK & Japan? Damn right! Let's not forget one billion Chinese just a short hop away. Israel can take care of itself. SK can't. And Japan is hamstrung by accords tied to the end of WWII.
Let's be honest here. You keep pointing to ol' Muammar over in Tripoli. Hell, there's less evidence pointing at him than at Saddam! You either don't want a war at all, or you're so wrapped up in trying to play Monday morning quaterback on Friday that you don't want to let the coaches and players get in the game and win it!
We're misguided? Please. The road to victory leads through Baghdad and Saddam. Then we can turn our attention to the others. Let's deal with Saddam, now, before he gets mobile nuclear capability and starts peddling WMD off to the highest bidder (i.e., Al Qaeda).
If we go after the others first, we may knock down two or three of 'em, and then have Saddam staring us in the face in three years with four nukes sitting on boats in Miami Beach ready to go. No, I'd much rather deal with him today, thank you very much.

if Felipe is an example of the typical Marine then I think we have ourselves a fine bunch of Marines.

I give up! OK, let us kill Saddam! My point was not Saddam deserves death or not. My point was Saddam is insignificant in the big picture of Islamic terror worldwide. It is orchestrated by heads of Moslem states. Bush, and his state department are failing to recognize that. Our reaction to 9/11 is still not satisfactory as far as curbing INS visas to Saudis, and other worthless Moslems. But, if it pleases you to kill that dictator first, be my guest. We still have to deal with Osama, El Zawahiri, Omar, Sayyaf,.....

The writer's "dig" was directed toward those that deliberately confuse legal and illegal immigration. And unless you believe the writer was referring to illegal immigration, it looks like his "dig" was directed at you.

Legal immigration is conducted nowadays mostly through random lotteries and family reunification - not on the basis of the dedication and gifts that the new immigrant will bring to the US.
We can afford to separate the Felipes of the world from those less worthy of the name of US citizen.
His dig was directed at those who think, contradicting the WSJ editorial page, that uncontrolled, random immigration is an outdated policy.

Felipe sounds like one hard-charging "Devil Dog," like yours truly during the Gulf War. As far as I'm concerned, he's earned his citizenship to these United States. As for all the anti-American, anti-freedom, communist sympathizing pukes & punks living here in these United States, I suggest that they go survive in "Nuclear Korea." Maybe Kim Jong Il's military forces (NKPA) can use these "comrades" as human mine sweepers in the DMZ. That'll be a real show to watch from the South Korean side of the DMZ.
