I agree to an extent only SH was no "two-bit" dictator. He had attacked and tried to conquer a neighboring country. Also, I see all of the agruments for and against the exigency of our military action, but the bottom line is SH has no one to blame but himself for not complying with the UN's unanimous position for 11 years that SH had the burden to prove he no longer had these weapons. He got what he deserved. Unfortunately, the Iraqi people as well as our and the ally soldiers have paid a dear, dear price. This is why I think we should have ousted SH in 1991 or sooner than now. But, we did not. We played his game for far too long in my book.
