The difference here is that today we're hoping to remove the cancer before it consumes millions of lifes, not after.

It seems like you guys didn't want to see my real point out of that post .
Japan was invaded cuz they attacked Pearl Harbour , and Germany was invaded cuz they attacked almost every country in europe.

Iraq invaded Kuwait. The Iraqi army was driven out by an international coalition and ordered by the international community to disarm and [u]PROVE[/u] that it has disarmed. After OVER A DECADE LATER Saddam has proven NOTHING other than that he's still playing games with the arms inspectors.

MEANWHILE 45,000 Iraqis are STARVING to death EVERY YEAR.
Do we have to reach the one million mark before you think "hmmm... Maybe we should do something about this" ???
How about two million? Or three?


Don't get me wrong, the "preemptive strike" statements Bush has made were idiotic at best, but that doesn't change the overall realities of this situation.
