Unfortunately Sadam was broke so we had to fix it. He went off the reservation in 1990 with his invasion of Kuwait. So he had to go, he was messin with our oil.

Yes an Islamic Repblic that is hostile to the USA would be terrible for the USA, since we would have caused it ourselves. That is part of the reason that this is such a diasteer.

As Commander in Chief GW has to take responsibility for this diaster. However it really wasn't his idea, it was the people who he trusted and had confidence in that led him to believe this would be an easy gig. He also continued on with these people far to long out of loyalty, or the belief that given sometime things would eventually get better. However this has debacle has cost him his Presidency. Not even die hard supporters now think Iraq is anything but a losing proposition. They continue to hold unto the belief that in 20 years GW will be hailed like Truman as sticking to his guns and being right in the end. However if this results in the end of the American Empire it all becomes a moot point.
