He couldn't have been, remember the UN mandate? We definitely would have lost the Arab members of our coalition. Resolution 1441 was sufficiently vague by promising "severe repercussions" if he didn't comply that we went in this time. Think Oil for Food Scandal as to why. Tony Blair's Britain was one of 30 giving active or logistical support to our recent war effort. I love the Brits, goofy teeth and all. They're not a bunch of "fog breathers" (Family Guy) but some tough bastards (in the good sense of course). I'm all about finishing the job. It's not who starts the fight but who finishes it that's important. Bush '41 was one of those stability over liberty types because democracy is messy. Popular support was also important too; one of the reasons we stopped the war was because the "highway of death" was making the news too much.Originally Posted by ShadesWolf
