"Going in and occupying Iraq, thus unilaterally exceeding the
United Nations' mandate, would have destroyed the precedent of
international response to aggression that we hoped to establish.
Had we gone the invasion route, the United States could
conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile
land."
George H.W. Bush (Bush senior) and Brent Scowcroft
in their 1998 book, "A World Transformed"
