I'm not saying that we ignore the issue, far from it, but the end of the Cold War proved that warfare wasn't necessary and I believe that warfare isn't necessary today. Do you ignore the lives that could be saved during 45 years? Saddam is effectively boxed in, and has no ability to do anything at this point. His is disarming, albeit slowly, but still disarming. What's the rush? He isn't disarming, he is cooperating JUST enough to buy him time. Not time for the Iraqi people, but time for his regime Are the troops stationed there needed somewhere else? Yes they are need elsewhere! They are needed to be with their mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, wives, children, friends, and neighbors.
