Thats my point jay, we gained a vital outpost in the Middle East, and the trust of the Iraqi people. I'm afraid attack Cuba wouldn't have had quite the same effect on attempting to get Syria and Iran to straighten up either.

Clinton had the oppurtunity to stop North Korea from developing nuclear weapons but did little more than give them a slap on the wrist, then went on his way, trusting that they'd stop. Didn't Europe try the same thing to appease Hitler? A little slap on the wrist, don't invade a country again. It certainly worked, didn't it

But you know, Saddam only killed his own people, it really wasn't any of our business.
