War should be declared only as a last resort, then the commitment should be total.

The Bush Administration forgot those two ideas and the country will pay the price for decades.

That axiom was a worthy truth for centuries. However, with the advent of WMDs, mach-speed delivery systems, and the constant proliferation of these DEADLY technologies among rogue states and fanatical renegade organizations, pre-emptive warfare is now the order of the day and won't always require full force committments or absolute victories. For the past 20 years, we've watched our military scale down from huge, heavy divisions to smaller, light attack units designed for quick-kill strategies that do not require overall victories...

The Bush administration is the first administration in history that has had to respond to a world terrorist attack that killed more americans in New York and Washington DC than the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor. Bush and Tony Blair went where the intel told them to go...Afghanistan and Iraq.
You're right when you say that the U.S. will pay the price for decades but George Bush is not the reason we will pay...islamic-fascism in the form of al qeada and their supporters in the form of Iran & Syria are the REASONS why we and the rest of the civilized world will pay.

Bush was told that he could have Saddam indicted at the INCJ and then that Saddam could be abducted and put on trial. He would have been killed. This would have sent a hard message to the next Iraqi leader. It also would have been far less deaths.

This is the must absrud crap I've seen posted here. Oh, please give us your source for this moronic statement??? Apparently, you're not aware that every assination attempt against Saddam failed...for 30 years!!! Just who was supposed abduct Saddam...he had look-alikes and never traveled the same routes and rarely slept in the same place at night.

At least if he was indicted, he would not have been a rigthful ruler (not that what he did was right but it is suspect whether or not he technically had a "right to rule") so the invasion would have been okay.

Read your Iraqi history. Saddam Huessin killed his way into power. He killed friends and family to become iraq's dictator. He was not a "rightful leader" in any sense of that term!!
