IMHO, the New Sheriff in town is a little too gung-ho. There really hasn't been any justice for the terrorist attacks on US soil, and I fear that perhaps the US just want's to make an "example" out of Saddam in the name of justice.

Agreed they are rhetorical questions, my point is reasoning should be used all the way through. Whether the rest of the world thinks the USA is arrogant or not, is a poor jusification to allowing something all agree is wrong to exist. 12 years of sactions and talk have produced little if any real results. There comes a point when somebody has to stand up and say enough is enough.
If Sodamn Insane is used as an Example, maybe others will learn from it. If they don't then they must be willing to pay the price.[/QUOTE]I don't think that perceived arrogance should be a reason for allowing attrocities to continue either, yet only just recently has any real effort being placed into doing anything. Sure, 12 years of sanctions has produced nothing, and someone has stood up and said enough is enough, but let's exhaust all peacful alternatives to war and not act rashly. If this can be solved with a minimal loss of life for everyone concerned then we should do so.
