Global threats are everyone's responsiblity

Are you sure that Saddam never did anything to us? Are you sure that he didn't fund attacks or at least allow Al-Quaeda to train in his back yard?

Hitler and Mussolini never did anything to us either. But they were a threat to the global community. It took a hit from Japan to wake us up. England and her allies had declared war on Germany the day after Hitler invaded Poland. We should have done the same thing. It was years after that when we finally took up the cause. Are you saying that it was wrong to do that?
