<With all due respect, Larry, all you did was rehash all the familiar pro-war arguments. The flaw in those arguments is that they're all based on wishful thinking, partisan faith in your president, and the unreasonable hope for an unbroken string of rosy scenarios.
You know, a similar case could be made that the arguments against the war are based on pessimism, distrust in the President (as opposed to who, Saddam?), and the unreasonable assumption of a negative outcome for every scenario.
All else being equal, and given the limited data at hand, there is no more reason to assume the worst outcome is any more likely than the best. And the status quo, a murderous dictator loose in the Middle East and attempting to build atomic bombs, is not acceptable.
