Many protesters of "Operation: Iraqi Freedom" claim that it is pre-emptive and unnecessary. Many of the supporters, on the other hand, are stating the exact opposite of these claims. Many are going so far as to say that Saddam Husein and his regime have been committing such atrocities against the people of his country that we are late in removing him from power.

They have taken away these "unalienable rights." That is why this "pre-emptive" strike is necessary.

Problems which are solved quickly cannot escalate into something uncontrollable.
