Personally, my belief is this: Bush Sr. messed up at the end of the Gulf War... everything Bush Jr. has ever done has been a hand out from Daddy... now to please Daddy he has surrounded himself with Daddy's cronies... because of September 11th they are now able to fabricate a reason to invade Iraq. (just look at what they pulled yesterday with the MIA/captured in action pilot... give me a break)

I think it is to be expected that Bush 43 is going to be criticized just by virtue of the fact that his father was president. But that criticism, frankly, is just downright shallow and without substance.

While Bush 41 is roundly criticized for not "going to Baghdad", when I hear that criticism it immediately puts me on notice that there are either political motivations for the statement OR the person making the statement doesn't really understand what happened at the time.

It is really easy for people to sit here 10 years later saying "we should have ..." done this or that. There are plenty of Monday Morning Quarterbacks on this issue.
