how about another slant on this issue

the 'problem' is the potential nexus between WMD and terrorism
or
between those who may supply such and those who may use such

there was a direct link between 9/11 and the groups in Afghanistan,
the US asked no one's permission
- it is as yet unclear how this will play out, but hey - its better than what was there

a potential for the transfer of WMD was perceived in Iraq, and the UN last fall was invited to do what it had been stating for 11 years
- the UN declined
-> so understand the lesson: that the UN by its words and deeds has indicated, yet again, that it will talk - but not act

returning to the theme:
who else has WMD and has shown signs (past words and deeds) that they will provide such to others

can anyone say: North Korea ?
an interesting question: given the demonstrated impotence of the UN, why should the US get into another pissing contest with the advocates of appeasement ?
(please, let us learn from our experiences)

and when that mess has been dealt with we move briskly to the next exporter: Iran
anyone following their nuclear enrichment program ?
peaceful ?
Iran is the principal supporter of Hamas, and (also) dedicated to the eradication of Israel

Yes, the US military will be a growth industry for some years

Gmat
France gave us a beautiful statue, one of the defining symbols today of the US
Why now is she so unwilling to give the same to other peoples ?
Lets get off the government kick, what about the people of these countries
Afghanistan
Iraq
North Korea
Iran

Is their freedom worth nothing ?
(and yes, many more countries need adding to that list – scary, eh ?)
