Right.

When my little boy is doing something wrong...I tell him what he's doing and I tell him to stop. I don't just swoop in and hit him without clarifying what he's done, giving him a chance, or letting him know why I'm hitting him.

We've used sanctions in many instances. I wasn't specifically speaking of Iraq. Hussein, not Obama (
), wouldn't work with us and we stood with other countries against who he was, what he promised and what he did to his people. Enough talk for him. The country is better off and the people are happy. I've heard enough stories from our troops and we have a nephew in Afghanistan as I speak. A relative at Ft Erwin. I am for what we have done and are doing in Iraq.
We are a great nation and a kind nation, but this pushing like Russia is doing to Georgia cannot be allowed.
