Saddam needed to get his ass kicked. It was inevitable. For the past decade he had been breaking the sanctions placed on him after the Gulf War, our planes enforcing the so-called "no fly zones" were being shot at weekly and he routinely sent his aircraft across the no-fly-zones to test our reactions. He was taunting us and the world, and the UN couldn't have cared less. They were letting him get away with it. In my oppinion he would have continued to get more brazen if we kept letting him get away with it. I'm well aware of these facts, I've been deploying to the region for the past 5 years. What was done, needed to be done.
I do agree however that enough is enough. Help those who want to be helped and leave the rest to fend for themselves. Eliminating "terror" is like trying to cure the common cold. What would really help the country is bringing the troops back home and securing and dealing with our border problems.
