I want use to kill him before he can kill me.

Errmmmm....sure. The UN wouldn't normally allow a country with them to go rogue and do their own thing, why would the US be any different? Sure the US is big and tough. But so was Russia and Germany at one point. If the UN doesn't intervene against the US here where does it end? Next thing you know the US decides they want to rid the threat of Fidel...invade Cuba, we're sick of Candian Tariffs....invade Canada, the french are annoying...invade France.
The whole point is that there's a lot more to this than just removing the threat of a guy who may or may not have a nuke. The problem is many of the new voting US citizens haven't had to deal with a war. The closest thing to it was the gulf war and that was overseas. If there had been any bloodshed in Amercia during that time it would have been seen differently.
The september 11th thing was a tragedy....anything that causes the loss of life always is. It's going to be a day of mourning for many years to come. But it seems like every other day there's a suicide bombing in Isreal killing a few dozen children and average citizens. There's no mourning about that....it's simply "That's horrible...so what's on Leno tonight?" It's easy to accept a declaration of war when you'll never have to deal with any of it except read it in the papers.
"I want that fucker gone. I want use to kill him before he can kill me. "
Kill you? WTF did Saddam ever do to you? He never did anything against the US (directly at least). He invaded a small UN country and the US decided to step up to the plate to take care of it. Since then if he has done anything it's been indirect but be sure as hell the US has been fucking around with Saddam since then as well. There has NEVER been a point that Saddam has been a threat to the US....or if he has there's never been a reason made public about it.
