Is the censorship of this Time Magazine article due to pressure from the White House? Perhaps Bush Sr. was correct in his assessment in Why We Didn't Remove Saddam: Going in and occupying Iraq, thus unilaterally exceeding the U.N.'s mandate, would have destroyed the precedent of international response to aggression we hoped to establish. Had we gone the invasion route, the U.S. could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land. It would have been a dramatically different--and perhaps barren--outcome.
