I see you couldn't make your point without taking a couple of swipes at President Bush.

I won't warn you again that baseless personal attacks are not tolerated on this thread.

You can disagree with Bush's policies without resorting to baseless, unsubstantiated personal attacks. If you can't, do not post here anymore.

As for your what if exercise, 'we should have left Saddam in power'; the main problem with it is that it's performed in a vacuum with you deciding the outcome. In fact you control everything as if you were an all powerful god imposing your will, moving earth & sky with a flick of your wrist.

This is no different than a personal fantasy - they NEVER reflect the choices & outcomes from your real life. They always involve things you'd love to happen but have no bearing on your actual life here in the real world. And in those fantasies you get the hot babe, win the lottery, get the promotion to CEO, have great looks & matching physique - whatever your heart desires.

Nothing ever goes wrong & that's just the point.

With your visualization, 'we should have left Saddam in power'; you were free to ignore every obstacle that might result in an unfavorable outcome. Even if you considered any obstacles, you simply wave your hand & concoct a scenario that resolves it in your favor.

Voilà! A perfect outcome every time!

Then you compare this daydream of your making against the real world results from the policies of the Bush Admin. Guess what? Bush's real world decision making doesn't stand a chance against someone's fantasy. He's going to lose every single time.

For someone who thinks their foreign policy fantasies are superior to that "impotent", "incompetent" "moron" in the White House; you'd think that something as obvious the above would have been painfully obvious to someone with your superior intellect.

Or maybe that's the problem. Maybe you just don't get it.
