I just believe that there are other, more subtle ways of ridding the world of Saddam than by invading and stirring up a hornets nest.

would this be comparable to the "hornets nest" that was stirred up in Afghanistan? The "hornets nest" of attacking a Muslim country, of destroying as a fighting force and deposing the Taliban as a government, all but destroying Al Queda in Afghanistan, destroying weapons caches, destroying terrorist bases, making thousands of arrests worldwide, destroying terrorist training camps and gathering massive intelligence and documents of terrorist cells, members and activities... all while ending 23 years of war... AND securing tremendous international committments to rebuild the country?
i remember the same concerns being voiced beforehand. how did those same concerns beforehand, match up to the reality afterwards?
