Are you saying that there is no precedent for people who disagree ganging up on a common enemy? The idea seemed pretty damned plausible during the Clinton administration's attempts to justify bombing Iraq. Of course, back then the press was supporting the administration.

Are you saying that hundreds of thousands of Iraqis were not murdered by Saddam's regime? Or is the implication that only those who died in the war count? Maybe you have that odd "the house is painted white on this side" point of view that had we left Saddam and Sons in power, no more Iraqis would have been murdered in the following decades, since obviously we can't PROVE they were going to be murdered. Heck, who knows, if Hitler had succeeded in taking over all of Western and Eastern Europe, maybe he would have decided to leave all those Jews alone to live long and peaceful lives. You can't PROVE he wouldn't have.
