I normally stay away from politics and religion, but I ask you this - If lets say nothing is done about Iraq and sometime in the future we have another attack on the United States half as horrific as 911, will everyone ask why didn't we follow through with dismantling a regime that has a top priority of taking out the most envied nation in the world? IMHO, more than likely yes. I am ex-military and have seen real world conflicts, nothing like WWI, Korea, WWII and Vietnam but I do know what its like to be hated by other 3rd world countries. I do know what its like to be shot at and have to return fire. War is never the 1st resort but is sometime necessary. Issues such as Korea can be handled more diplomatically. Just consider this, Iraq more than likely had something to do with 911 and unless stopped will probably be involved in terrorist actions against the US and its allies in the future. I do not want to see war, but I also feel when its time for war, peace keeping diplomacy only endangers the lives of our military that are there to protect our very way of life. I will leave you with a quote that I like to hand out at peace rallies
"It is the soldier, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag."

Sorry for the rant
