Where would we be without war in Iraq?

Since there are so many people, such as our own president, who believe we had to go to war in Iraq, I'm wondering what they think would have happened if we had not gone to war against that country.

If you are one of the people who believe we had to attack Iraq, what do you think would have happened if we had not launched that assault?
