barrysloateThanks Brian, that was eloquently stated.
Cat- I think we did one great thing- we took down Saddam's horrific regime and as of today he is dead and gone. The problem is we very quickly lost our way. We could have done good things in Iraq but the whole war effort was handled abysmally. The planning was poor and the leadership, from the president on down, was totally inept. Now we are stuck there for years, kids are dying and getting blown to bits, the whole country is in chaos, and nobody has a clue how to fix it. Going in may have not been a bad idea, killing Saddam was an heroic deed, but that's about the only good that has come from this mess. It's very sad but I think we will see the whole Middle East implode, and if they ever take Israel out, we are looking at World War III.
