So then, it's OK to let a murderer continue to walk the streets, as long as he doesn't go on another murderous rampage? Furthermore then, it's acceptable to let a murderer maintain dictatorial authority over an entire country until he decides to start killing again? Just let bygones be bygones, right? Come on, that's not how it works. This is probably a major reason that it was an ongoing U.S. policy (Enforced by the beloved Clinton administration ) that regime change in Iraq was a tenet of U.S. foreign policy.
You're basically saying, "It's ok to murder and you get away with it free of consequence, as long as I don't catch you doing it again, at which point I still won't do anything about it because I can't get the French to agree to a final, final, final resolution to take action..." This Iraq conflict is being used as an excuse by non-Bush supporters to criticize him even more because they're bitter that he won (yes WON) the election fair & square. Ah, the irony of moveon.org is farcical.
Final: Forming or occurring at the end; last: the final scene of a film.
-Of or constituting the end result of a succession or process; ultimate: an act with both an immediate and a final purpose.
-Not to be changed or reconsidered; unalterable: The judge's decision is final.
At what point were people going to grow a backbone and mean what they said?
We learned from the Cold War, as well as WWII, and numerous other times in history that a policy of appeasement simply DOES NOT WORK.
