In the USA, the collective we put our local basketball teams flag on our cars as well.
George the 2nd can't get along without Ms. Rice....she was there long before he even became Prez...
Iraq was not a USA mistake....it was a demostration of our power, the mistake was not finishing Sadam in 1991. Osma said, Americans are weak, we have no stomach....those are the operative words.
Are we weak...or do we still have staying power? Look at it from the perspective of a region that is know for it's Barbarism.
Forget Bush in this equation, any American President after 911 would have had to take strong action...or America would have fallen...the Iraqie question would have to be solved sooner or later and Sadam wasn't going to go peacefully....I don't care how you cut it he was and is a thorn in the side of the USA...a destabilizing influence in the region that thumbed his nose at the USA and the UN. Only the French were making money with him so they were willing to opose any moves on the part of the USA to stabilize the region.
