OK, I know my post is late in the game, and everyone has cooled off, BUT...What's wrong with containment? Everybody agrees that Saddam is a Bad Man, and nobody wants him to get his hands on WMD, but the US has a wonderful history of picking and choosing the dictators it would like to confront. I think we can accomplish the same goals (making sure he doesn't kill his citizens or build nukes) with a bunch of inspectors breathing down his neck--it would make the intl community a whole lot happier and avoid the bloodshed. I think as Americans we are less comfortable with these grey areas and like to feel like we're "doing something..." Well, clearly Bush is "doing something"--what exactly we're not quite sure, but maybe that rationale (along with a completely un-media savvy public) explains why this war is getting so much support.
