Quote by: sdbest  Set aside for a moment that Saddam was well contained and threat to no one outside of Iraq. In my view, if after 9/11 Bush and Co. had asked the world to support America in tracking down OBL and bringing him to justice, bin Laden would be in a prison now and Al Qaeda would be no more. Moreover, much of the Muslim world would have respected America's restraint and just behavior. But using 9/11 as a pretext to invade Iraq and slaughter hundreds of thousands of innocent people, engage in brutal torture, murder, and rape ...

Saddam was NOT well contained.Gee whiz, Oil for food scandal was the merely the tip. The whole embargo argument was collapsing, even in the USA (you might recall the stories about 100,000 deaths due to starvation, kids malnourished ect).
And the USA did ask the world for help in tracking down OBL. We already knew he was in Afghanistan. Now it seems the Canadians wished to pull out of there.
