Right !
The old ostrich defence theory, Stick your head in the sand and all your problems will just go away.
Like Chamberlain when he came back from Munich!!!
Appeasement never have and never will be the solution.

The action to remove Saddam was correct.
If errors were subsequently, then it would be better to rectify those errors. Not by pulling out and leaving chaos behind.
That would be the greatest error of ALL!

Your are probably correct in this if Mr A and the Mad Mullahs were rational pragmatic politicians.
So the big question must be …are they?
In the closing days of WW II, when Japan’s cities were being wiped out by constant fire bombs, the leadership refused to give in. Even after Hiroshima was turned into atomic ash, they refused to give in. It was only after Nagasaki that a modicum of reason filtered through.
So one cannot always depend on reason winning out!
