Pretty much how I feel about invading Iraq - no immediate threat, no WMD, run of the mill dictator - and , as the only secular power in the region, no connection with Osama. You justify invading Iraq because saddam's sons raped?!

I don't advocate invading Japan and destroying their infrastructure, then imposing a new form of govt on them - Pearl harbor was reason enough to do that once. This does deserve an acknowledgement, and an apology - or you would have us act no better than those sons of Saddam.
