In other words, if we had been successfula t rehabilitating Iraq, then like 90% of the US would likely vote that removing SH was a good enough cause regardless of the trumped up reasons to promote the argument of exigency. I cannot really fault them for this logic because SH was a horrible person who sponsored terrorism, though not nearly to the degree we were lead to believe. Conversely, a suicide bombing likely could not have that large an effect.

I see what you're saying. There is at least some logical thought you can grab onto for the former positon. Whereas a suicide bombing is totally irrational. I agree except I think any logic that justifies violence is inherently flawed. But I see the distinction.
