Doubts about whether the mission can be accomplished, or the doubts about the morality of the mission?

The only reason the mission won’t be able to be accomplished is if the Iraqi people themselves are not up to democracy.

The morality of the mission isn’t something Americans should feel is questionable. Saddam was a butcher and a force of instability in the region. We thought he had WMD, and after 9/11 we can’t take that kind of chance. That he probably didn’t have WMD doesn’t change the fact we thought he did, and that he was trying to undermine sanctions and reconstitue his nuclear program.
