War is terrible but the alternatives to war are often much worse. Saddam and his regime are evil! As evil as Hitler. It is likely that the anti-war demonstrations and actions by France and Germany to obstruct us caused the war. A united front demanding immediate disarmament probably would have caused Saddam to back down.

We can't appease people like Saddam. You have to stand up to him and destroy him before he does it to us. WW II was enabled by people who appeased Hitler. They were so afraid of the horrors of war that they figured it was better to give Hitler what he wanted in order to get "Peace in Our Times". What they got was an enemy who grew more powerful and almost devoured them. We can't make the same mistake!

What do you think would happen if we stopped the war now ? Saddam's stock would rise as he would claim to have defeated us and ours would fall as we would be proven to without honor and unreliable. Our allies would seek accommodations with bad guys such as N. Korea and China. I expect that it would cause wars. Iraq would invade Kuwait and Saudia Arabia to seize control of their oil. N. Korea would attack the south as they would not have anything to fear from us. In short the result would be more war not less.
