Have a think about this Gixer:
- US doesn't invade Iraq
- UNs game with Saddam goes on another 10 years
- Saddam annouces he has nukes
- Saddam starts playing chicken with Israel (much to the delight of the neighbouring Arab nations)
Add to the mix the Saddam might die in that timespan and be replaced by his sons (far worse than Saddam imho).
Add to the mix Saddam proding Al Qaeda and whoever into playing chicken with the USA.
Short term vision says Iraq is "a big mess".
Long term vision says if you don't do it now the mess will be much worse later on. A nuclear conflict in the Middle East is a damn scarey thought.
Perhaps you lack the maturity for a big of long term vision?
