what are we gonna do? leave him alone? let him develop his weapons and kill millions of people who didn't want to fight him?
if we fight this war he will not be able to bother us again, we get oil, we get bases in the middle east, we protect israel.
Here's what we do: Send the weapons inspectors in. This is a fluid situation, the outcome should be determined by their reading of the situation.
An interesting fact to note is that one of the head weapons inspectors to iraq declared that the attack would be "unjustified in every way."
1)if we fight this war he will not be able to bother us again: No we'll have a whole bunch of even more pissed off arabs. It has been empirically proven that civilians of an attacked country would turn against the attacking country no matter the cause. This is attributed to weapons accidents, mistaken targets, the list goes on.
2)we get oil: And the world's opinion of the US would turn to shit. With that mentality, lets get some troops into kuwait and try to get direct control there. Politics don't work that way.
3)we get bases in the middle east: The bases' function? To carry out more crackass campaigns for the "war against terrorism." Thus, no real function.
4)we protect israel: we protect israel anyways.

Nobody cares about you. It is all about the international community's opinion. The large majority does not find him to be a terrorist.
Again, what you don't understand is the complexity behind attributing to the issue and the causes of the issue. It is not as simple as 1, 2, 3. There are consequences to consider, consequences that Bush, his cabinet, and you, either overlook, ignore, or simply don't care about; and in this post-modern world, caring about the consequences is the difference between victory and defeat in the long run.
