My local bookstore apparently has a political bent.

I agree Congress should share much of the blame.

As for the President's staff, it is customary for the President to take responsiblity for acting on their advice.
 
so even if we went into iraq on mistaken premises, but the world is a safer, more stable, and less noxious place than it would be had we not gone, and thousands upon thousands of iraqi lives were saved....then whats the fuss about?

Unfortunately, we have to deal with the reality that the world isn't safer, and we've contributed to the killing and displacement of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis (far more than Saddam had any similar negative effect on).

Unlike naive fantasies, reality can be a bitch.
 
how many people died annually by saddam's hands during saddam's reign v. how many people died per year in the last seven years.

The math is favorable.

Further, Saddam was not going to live forever, and its likely that upon his death the country would have been engulfed in a much more severe and much bloodier civil war than ever before.



I bet when GW dies, it will be an official day of mourning in Arbil. I wouldnt be surprised if theres a bronze statue of him there in 20 years
 
I don't get involved in political (or religious) discussions on here for good reasons (my apathy and ignorance, for example...two things that stop few others from spouting off), and I'm not going to get into a lengthy debate now.

There are many conflicting sets of numbers, things weren't great before.

With that said, I stand by my first post and bow out. You can take that as victory if you like. I don't care.
 
I wish The Thriller would just change his avatar and get it over with:
