It would not have mattered...
People like you would not have wanted to cross into Syria to get them,
and how do you know that Congress was not shown proof.  Perhaps that is
why they gave Bush permission, not because of lies, but because of some
proof?

I do believe we had a coalition...let's see..
Britain, South Korea, Australia, Albania, Bosnia, Azerbaijan,
Czechoslovakia, Ukraine, Romainia, Macedonia, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Denmark,
Japan, Lithuania, Mongolia....etc. etc... We did not go in alone.
Additional support came from Italy, Poland, the Netherlands, El
Salvador, Thialand and Kazakstan.  I'm sure I'm leaving countries out...

Surely you jest.
Why would Iran do that...would you not sit back and watch two of your
enemies duke it out?
