Not if they don't find significant amounts of WMDs. I'm not talking mustard gas either - or a few rusted barrels of sarin -(I am not sure when this war became about liberating the Iraqi people BTW). I want to see a huge wmd plant that had been churning out weapons.

If it had been my money I would have invested it in improving gas mileage - or how about a middle class tax cut - I could give you a laundry list. Or better yet I would pay off North Korea.

The only "payment" we should give NK is "payment in kind". 
As for the rest, it does no good to focus entirely on domestic issues and ignore the dangers of the larger world. It is in part because we did just that in the 90's that we're in the situation we're in now. |
