I just wish the US Government understood what it is doing in the Middle East. The clock doesn't have so many sectors or ticks left. You guys (the US) never understand the implications of your acitons.

Some of us do understand the consequences. Bush1 clearly understood that removing Saddam would open the floodgates ad throw Iraq into chaos, destabilizing the region.
About 53% of Americans opposed the invasion of Iraq in '03.
But subsequent revelations show that Bush2 was planning to topple Saddam from well before his "election."
At various points in time, he, or people speaking for him indicated that the invasion would be quick, simple, inexpensive, not involve bloodshed; etc., etc. Don't think for a minute that any significant number of Americans bought those ideas.
