I still donīt really like the idea that the only remaining super-power in the world can just go to war ( relatively unprovoken) with a nation whose army donīt stand a chance against US and UK. All this because they donīt like Saddam as a person or that he is generally a pain in the olībutt.
And you'd like the idea of the US/UK going to war with a country that's stronger militarily? War ain't beanbags. I'm glad that we can kick Saddam's a$$ straight to hell.

Furthermore, I wouldn't call Saddam simply a "pain in the butt". The man is a mass murderer. The only acceptable solution to this problem must include Saddam pushing up daisies.
[/QUOTE]US/UK probably wouldnīt go to war with Iraq if it was equal to them in military might, that would cause a Third World War. The US didnīt attack the Soviet Union during the Cold War because that would cause more harm than good, despite the fact that Stalin sended people to Gulag. IIRC Stalin caused the deaths of 20 million people.
