If WMDs were all this was about, I might agree with you. WMDs were emphasized so much because of those who wanted us to go to the UN for approval. The real reason was to get rid of SH and try to start transforming the middle east into a place less suitable for breeding terrorists.
Only time will tell if this bold and visionary move achieves its goals. You know, people said Reagan's arm's race would never work, too.
