Did Our Leaders Do The Right Thing?

It’s a question we’ll probably always wonder,
Did our leaders do the right thing?
Some might say it was better to do nothing,
But what would we have said now or later if Saddam did manage to create nuclear weapons, and continued to bully and subjugate Iraq’s neighbours to his will,
Or if they developed more chemical weapons and the means to deliver it?
Then we might have had no more choice than to back down from his barbaric and extreme threats.
Some might say that Israel does not deserve a peace after putting colonies on the West Bank and East Jerusalem,
But at least they haven’t lost Tel Aviv to a weapon of mass destruction.
Kuwait hasn’t been reoccupied, and Iran’s territories remain intact,
And a variety of groups and political parties are at least represented in Iraq’s councils.
