That's fair, on the first. Although I'm not sure whose territory it is. Saddam's? What is his claim of right to it--certainly not democratic elections. It belongs to the people, generally speaking, who inhabit it. And the choice they face is having Saddam run the place or us run the place, at least for a time.
Agree on i and ii, which are both fair questions, but really concern only the cost to americans, not iraqis.

Actually, the choice they faced was leaving Saddam in power or deposing him. I don't recall Bush asking for an invitation to step in.
