I have an idea he would have went into mild isolationism, which in fact i think this country needs. I.E. Vietnam. I think America is a Huge bully because yes we have the best military, and by-far the best lives, we have laxed laws, and this is probably the only country in the world that will parole a serial killer.
Saddam Hussein has been acting very shady over the issue of nuclear warfare and chemical weapons. If we dont take action and wipe out his arsenal of weapons, then he could pose a threat to our allies around him. We have practiced isolationism during the Beginning of the 20th century. World War II started because we didnt take action early enough to take out Hitler before he gained he became influential over all of Europe. We should look at past experiences and learn from them.

I love America don't get me wrong, but i see so many things that need improving, and our money could be better spent helping OUR country, and not other countries. WE have dying and starving people too.
If we got rid of Saddam's tyrannical dictatorship, then we would be aiding a portion of the Middle East. Most of Iraq is still in the 2nd stage of Demographic Transition. Perhaps, if we intervened, we could get it to Stage 3 more easily. We have many categorical grants and programs to aid poor people in our country, unlike other 3rd wolrd nations. We have the richest country in the world and the most powerful army. It's our job to promote peace and keep things under control. Its like the gospel of wealth in a larger scale.
