Iraq has plenty of money, I believe they have the second largest stockpile of oil in the world, but don't quote me on that.

If we wait for Iraq to attack somebody then we've let a disaster happen, if we attack him now then most of the world will be severly pissed at us.

America has done both in the past, and no matter which way we do it nobody seems to agree we did the right thing. If we sit back and allow Iraq to do something terrible, I don't think anyone will blame us. We could blame ourselves though, knowing we had to the power to stop him. If we do go in there and stop him though, even our allied countries will be upset with us.

For those of you who are always preaching America needs to stay out of other people's business. Do you say we should sit here with the power to stop atrocities and just let them happen? Should we watch as the world around us goes to hell? If you agree we should be doing something but not what we do, then what would you have us do?

I see a lot of people saying we do the wrong thing, but not many with a good opinion on what we should be doing. Try to avoid using the word "should've" as well, hindsight is twenty twenty they say.
