Blitz, you are wrong. This war is not fun, but it has to be done.
12 years of running around in circles, while at the same time having our airforce enforce no-fly zones to protect some of the Iraqi people from their own government gets you nowhere. Add to that the fact that our airforce got shot at every week doing that no fly zone crap.
"Nothing is ever done in this world until men are prepared to kill each other if it is not done."
--George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), Irish playwright. From Major Barbara (1905).
As for the U.N., well it only gets anything done unless it is super obvious. Usually it just passes resolutions against the bad guy, and passes more when he ignores them, and so on.
