Lets kill thousands of soldiers and a few civilians, not to mention the millions we displace, in our destructive "liberation" effort cloaked in the guise it is the right thing to do. Don't worry we can build everything back when its over except the dead and maimed.
Oh, wait the coalition of the willing are planning to do that anyway with-out giving the U.N a realistic chance. Is removing Saddam the lessor of the two evils when compared to the carnage of war?

A very amusing and over-the-top reaction Chewbacca.
Now that you have that out of your system, could you provide a serious answer to the question I asked?
If the U.N. inspectors DID find unequivocable evidence that Saddam Hussein has Weapons of Mass Destruction, what action should be taken against him as punishment?[/QUOTE]What actions should be taken against the US, Britain, China, France, Germany etc... for posessing weapons of mass destruction. Just because he has them, doesn't mean he is going to use them. You can't wage a war based upon what might happen.
It's a good thing that this "preventative maintenance" strategy wasn't implemented during the cold war.
