either way, people have been imposing their will on their neighbors for ever. and here we are, 5k years later, doing the same stupid shit. i realize that a world in peace is a pipe dream. but we can certainly try to not fight as often, and to reconcile our difference more often with out tanks.
btw, the world is a better place without saddam, though now there will be political instability for years there, so are we better off
