The problem with that is, how long do you sit on your ass until you decide war is neccessary?

Around 70% in polls opposed going to war in Europe in 1940. Yet look at the sheer evil we were not aware of, that we put an end to. How much safer is the world now? Was war a mistake in 1941?

Could you say now, that if we and the UN backed off of Saddam Hussein, that he would have just been a peachy keen nice guy and given up on dominating his people and region? That he would have just said 'Gee, I don't think I need nukes and chemical weapons' or 'I think I'll hold free elections'?
