Funny, we never invaded Russia during the cold war, and wouldn't you have called them a threat? I am all for outsing Saddam, we just did it in an idiotic and immoral way. We should have waiting untill the UN would have gone along with us. That would have greatly decreased the number of Americans dead. Was Iraq an immediate threat? No. So why couldn't we have found more evidence, and gone in with the UN, and done joint operation. It's a pretty huge and costly assumption to make that Iraq was selling WMD's, or giving terrorists whatever they wanted. But hey, what do they care, it's not their kids that are dying over there.

A Russian evasion during the cold war was not an option, not one that would leave humanity intact after at least.
