Pretty dramatic stuff -- "
the most odorous regime on the planet".
What alternative would have cost more lives in the long run?
The "not lying" alternative wouldn't have cost more lives. The "have a plan" alternative wouldn't have cost more lives. The "let's not rush into this as fast as possible" alternative wouldn't have cost more lives.
I'm sure there are dozens of alternatives that would have in fact
saved a lot of lives.
But nope. They made up a threat and invaded as soon as they could, and it's been a failure.
