| Re: George Bush, you sir are an ass. Good riddance in 2009.
My hat is off to you Doc for sticking out this discussion. I gave up trying.
____________
Winston Churchill tried to convince the Leaders in the UK, US and France that Hitler posed a huge threat. He failed in convincing the allies in time. The result was WWII. Had he 'sold' harder and convinced the powers that be that a pre-emptive strike was needed and Hitler had been removed in 1941 the world would be different place. (There would likely be no Israel for example....)
We'll never know how getting Hitler out of power early would have changed the world.
And we'll never know how leaving Sadham in place and allowing the UN to manage the situation would have changed the world either.
History isn't written during the event...it will be interesting to have this discussion in 20 or 30 years.
