what we have at the moment. The option that we chose has been less than successful and that just wasn't an option.
It would seem that the assassination of SH would have either led to civil war or the succession of one of his idiot sons.
Another possibility would have been to bribe SH into becoming a client state. This would have been much cheaper than what the war has cost us and would have given us far more control on the situation in Iraq.
Not a completely moral solution but it would have saved money and lives and it would have given us some influence over human rights in Iraq.
As far as being the world's policeman and stepping up to the plate, my only requirement would be that the situation be evaluated as to whether the end result is worth the cost in lives and treasure.
In my opinion we should never put another boot on the ground as long as there is anyone alive there that might be inclined to shoot at us.
