[QUOTE]Originally posted by bX: [QB] A lot of people are saying we should have finished the job in GW1. And I'm pretty sure I disagree. I think the US had cobbled together an international consensus and enjoyed some support from countries in the region to liberate Kuwait. Even had it been logistically possible to continue on to Baghdad, I think the president was cognizant of the fact that such a move would evaporate any consensus. And so more recently even if Sadaam murdered only tens of thousands of people rather than hundreds of thousands of people, does that in some way make it OK? Is there a magic number? I'm not saying that the US didn't fudge the facts for going into Iraq, or that we were ever on the level about our justifications, but even by conservative estimates, Sadaam Hussein was still a genocidal fucking bastard.
