Sort Of

I realize fully it's a choice of the lesser of two evils. Maybe I should feel the pain of having to choose more strongly as you do, but I strongly believe to fail to act in the face of evil is to support it. I take that lesson from WW2 and thought it was one the whole western world had learned. You can participate in evil by making the lesser choice to stop a greater evil, or participate in the greater evil by doing nothing to stop it. Where guilt should come in is if you thought you chose the lesser of two evil and there was a choice to make that avoided war altogether. I may be proved wrong, but I don't feel that will happen here other than that we probably did choose the wrong time to finally end Saddam's reign of terror on his own people due in part to faulty intelligence and also due to Saddam's own actions which supported our flawed conclusions.

Regards,
Mark
