I don't know. Ask those Arabs who are attempting to overthrow the Iraqi government.

Don't forget to subtract the expected casualties Saddam would have inflicted (~30,000 a year, based on the the last thirty years of his rule - http://middleeast.about.com/od/usmideastpolicy/a/me090424b.htm).

I suppose you should make sure the new bucket will hold water before you get rid of the old bucket.

If all you are going to do is replace a snake with a rat, you probably shouldn't mess with the snake at all. My suggestion would be to kill off both the snake and the rats which could mean the total destruction of the Middle East.

Remember, before the war, scores of Iraqi people were slaughtered under a dictator. Now, scores of Iraqis are slaughtered under a democracy. Mission accomplished.

Perhaps it might remind us in the future that it isn't the US job to solve all the problems that are found on the globe.

You might want to ask that to people who are actually doing the killing. I suppose that might just be asking a bit too much of some people.

It is addressed to anyone who can be induced to feel culpable, although those truly culpable will be impervious to such inducement, having successfully rationalized it away.

Something like 60,000 humans die each day.
