Hi PartyTime -- you wanted to stop the war --

So did I -- the only difference is that I felt the quickest way to stop it was .... to start it.

Otherwise the war -- meaning terrorist acts, the inspection shell game, the murder and oppression of Iraqi people -- would drag on indefinitely.

This regime change has been a long time coming. As I posted earlier, the US gave up on peaceful cooperation from Iraq and has been looking for the opportunity for regime change since 1998.

I also tend to agree with you -- there's more sadness to come -- in the form of retaliation, anarchy, and struggle for power in the new government.

But this would have happened internally (if Saddam had lived into his 70s) 10 years from now any way.

My one hope is that the Iraqi people reach out to the Islamic world and TELL THEIR STORY. TELL THE ISLAMIC WORLD WHO THE BAD GUY REALLY WAS !
