Here's another point to consider: the hypocrisy of liberals. Liberals love to decry "Bush the cowboy" and that the US should never act unilaterally. Rather, we should take all action through the UN, and primarily use sanctions.

But what does that get you? Rwanda, Darfur, and Zimbabwe just to name 3. Rwanda = ~1 million killed; Darfur = ~500,000 killed; Zimbabwe = 35 years average life expectancy. 35.

Now, I am NOT suggesting that the US ought to have interceded in any or all of these situations. What I AM suggesting however is that for all the outcries from Dems that the Bush policies promote death and innocent casualties, you can guarantee that the death toll is rung up at a horrific rate under Dems' preferred policies. Simply sitting around, enacting sanctions, writing resolutions (see this excellent piece in WSJ) and hoping that things will get better is NOT a policy if you really want change. Only when Dems realize that there are truly bad people in the world that understand only one thing - violence - will they ever be able to effect the change they hope to bring about.
