OK to get back on topic. An often heard reason for not going after Saddam is that there are other countries out there commiting similar or worse attrocities. This is a logic I don't understand. Just because we can't rid the world of all the human rights abUsers doesn't mean we shouldn't try.
Another often heard reason is that the only reason we are going after Iraq is the oil. The flip side of the coin is that Saddam is the most dangerous because he is sitting on top of several billion (or trillion??) dollars worth of oil.
I think it would be great if there were a way to get rid of Saddamn and his regime without a war. I just don't know what it is.
