What we need now is not just a regime change in Saddam Hussein and Iraq, but we need a regime change in the United States.
John Kerry
To be blunt, we went down that road in Iraq. Thanks to the extraordinary sacrifices of our troops and the determination of our diplomats, we are hopeful about Iraq’s future. But regime change there took eight years, thousands of American and Iraqi lives, and nearly a trillion dollars. That is not something we can afford to repeat in Libya.
Barack Obama
I want to reiterate my support for President Bush's goals for regime change in Iraq.
Jeanne Shaheen
Finally, there is a compelling moral argument against war in Iraq. Military force is justified only in self-defense; naked aggression is the province of dictators and rogue states. This is the danger of a new "preemptive first strike" doctrine. America is the most moral nation on earth, founded on moral principles, and we must apply moral principles when deciding to use military force.
Ron Paul
I think it was Osama bin Laden’s [idea to start a pre-emptive war in Iraq].
