Using your analogy, it's better to implement a treatment that fights the initial symptom while endlessly multiplying the underlying SOURCE of the problem?... Seems counterproductive to me. NOT that a Dem in office would have done any better, but who knows..

Really? What did Iraq do to defy the UN's rulings? Produce Weapons of Mass Destruction???
Hmmm .... seems to me that Iraq DID what it was told to do by the UN. (Ok, Ok, they gave the UN shit about allowing full access all the times they asked for it) ... but once the UN weapons inspectors had full access ... what did they find that put Iraq in violation of the UN resolutions? Unless I'm missing something??
Thanks for the interesting response, but can you please clarify a bit?
