Exactly, AND bombing Iraq will put the US under greater threat because when thousands of civilians are killed, you can imagine the hate multiplying for the US in the region. Not only in Iraq, but in the whole Muslim world, and in other regions as well. Do you think one Saddam is worse, or creating 10 billion America haters by bombing? Bombing is putting the US in far greater danger. America will have 10 times more haters than it already has if war happens. The UN has not given the US approval yet, and the US doesn't care if they give approval or not. The government is determined to attack even if they have to do it alone. This will NOT make the US any safer. It will put it in far greater danger and create far more enemies.
