    I understand where you are coming from. The US did not just decide to   
   attack Hussein because he was a bad guy. There are plenty of other "bad   
   guys" we could have gone after before him. Hussein routinely ignored UN   
   resolutions. He did it for 12 years. He was warned over and over again that   
   there would be consequences if he did not adhere to them. He was a key   
   player in world terrorism. He funded it, supported it and as it turns out,   
   harbored terrorists within Iraq borders. He played the cat and mouse game   
   with the UN inspectors for a very long time. As far as helping in India,   
   hopefully the actions the United States and the coalition is taking to weed   
   out terrorists, will help in India down the road. It's a very long, hard   
   fight.
