There are some 500000 dead souls that might disagree with you here.

2. Negligence? Hussein wasn't going to attack us. The negligence here was not finishing Afghanistan and failing to grab the Saudis by the throat and demand they stop funding Wahhabism. The negligence was sleeping while Kim got the bomb.
Why did 9/11 make it mandatory for us to deal with Hussein? What duty did an AQ attack impose on us to rid the world of a tin pot dictator? Why didn't we focus the resources in annihilating AQ. Why aren't we paying Pakistan to let us into the provinces to deal with AQ?

Going into Pakistan might well bring down Musaref or whatever his name is. Then you have another hostile government that we would have to attack immediately to at least blow up the bombs. I'm sure Ty can post blogs saying Pakistan is more stable, but I call bullshit.

Why aren't we up the Saudi's asses... reminding them that we'll publicly disown them, leaving them defenseless, and push them toward toppling, at which point we'll take their oil on behalf of a multinational coalition that would be more than thrilled to have the cheap fuel?
The Saudis sit on the biggest oil reserve in the world. And they have no defense. They exist because we say they can. Yet we treat them like they're equals.

If the current SA government falls who is next in line? again, a hostile government.
