my thoughts. I agree with the decision to go to war with Iraq based on the intelligence we had. Basically Hussein tried to convince us he had weapons to bolster his reputation. Bad choice. We should have invaded, destroyed his military and infrastructure then allowed him to surrender and remain in power. The same policy applies today to iran. We should destroy their ability to wage war and support terror. Take their economy down and make it clear that we will continue to pound them until they stop plotting the destruction of Israel. The rest of the world can get on board or stay out of the way. What was stupid was thinking any Islamic country can become a functioning democracy.
