tell that to the famlies of the dead and wounded
and see if that comforts the famlies with sons and daughters yet to go to iraq.
What about the civilian casualties and there famlies who have died to help re build a countire ravaged by the War on there countrie. And for what...
Sadam is out of power.. yippie The next guy will be better..? ort the guy after him?
The world is safer..? More terrorist threats happen now then before 9/11 beacue of the increasing hatred toward the west due to the "Invasion" of iraq.

Very well put. While this may not be another Viet Nam (YET), the problem with those that support the war is that they can't see the big picture (while they preach to those who oppose it to WAIT and you'll see it will get better).
There will be another "benevolent dictator" who eventually will come to power (with the support of the US) and rule. And of course, we will probably arm him to the teeth, until one day, he decides he'll take after someone else with his army.
No wait..that's what happened with Saddam!!
