I won't be too verbose in my answer, because I'm as sick as everyone about how my joke about Bush supporters not being able to see our picture turned into a barfight.
The answer to "why wait?" is that NOW we have the bulk of our armed forces tied down in Iraq, with no end in sight, and if we need to go after an enemy which actually IS an immediate threat to us, we can't. In fact, we just shifted 4,000 troops out of S Korea - guarding against a dictator who is the equal to Saddam in evil and who actually DOES have WMDs - to bolster our exhausted troops in Iraq.
Another answer to "why wait" might be that we could've at least given a few more months to serious consideration of the consequences. Bush might've listened to Colin Powell a little more and Rumsfeld a little less.
And yet another reason might be that the 790 American lives lost, thousands maimed, and billions of dollars thrown away are simply too steep a price for what became, after the fact, a crusade to cram democracy down Iraq's throat whether they want it or not.
After 9/11 we needed to pull together as a nation, and did, briefly, with the good will of the world. Bush's war has divided the country (think of this board as a microcosm) and has made the rest of the world despise us in a way they didn't despise Saddam. I noticed you repeated SS's old (and now outmoded) simile of having the biggest cock - well, it's a lot more attractive (and powerful) to let the bulge in your pants tell the story.
Waving it in people's faces just makes people think you're a dick.

Hey JB! Why do they frown upon it? Does facial hair make clients feel uncomfortable or less trusting? |

When I worked for a large firm, the partners frowned upon facial hair claiming it looked "unprofessional"...particulary a goatee...And yes, I think certain institutional type clients(banks, large corps, etc) are uncomfortable with that type of look. Since I've been on my own the past 9 years, I grow a goatee more or less on a weekly basis and shave it off if I have a jury trial... |

Well I grew it when we were down in Disney over New Years. I was sick as hell and didn't shave for a week and did the ol' Van Dyke (stash & goat) on a lark.
I considered shaving it for my interview with this firm (even tho I had worked here before) because, as jb notes, big firms are pretty conservative with respect to such things since clients and judges are. But I think that has loosened a bit.
By the way, the T-shirt is from the famed Memory Motel in Montauk, NY!!! |

So, do women prefer a cleanly shaven man or one who prefers to "express" himself? |

Hello? Anyone there? SS? Sirmoonie? FPM?
I took time to respond to this question and now there seems to be a deafening silence. What up wit tat?
Sorry, I spent the rest of the day drinking.
You didn't respond to anything I said. To be fair, I don't think I asked you to - just politely pointed out that trashing decorated Vietnam vets is un-American. At least thats what I've heard. Your silence on that was deafening.
I've heard the Saddam is bad man bit many times, and the WWII stuff you added looks like something from a high school pop quiz you kept around. Anyway, no one disagrees on Saddam. I sure don't. I'd like to bust a cap in his ass! You may recall I was very much for this war.
However, if facts that have come to light since, coupled with what the players in the Bush administration admit was an inadequate and unattended plan in the first place, haven't caused you to AT LEAST question the choice to occupy Iraq, then its obviously a religious issue for you, and there is no set of facts I can recite here that will shake the fundamental tenets of your deeply held faiths. I don't want to even try - spirituality is overall a good thing I suppose, and far be it from me to try and disprove ethereal things that can't be proved in the first place.
