Despite these concerns, America, the world and especially the Iraqi people are a hell-of-a-lot-better-off then they were 2 months ago.

It's too early to tell the specifics of this, Michael. I'm not rehearsing the arguments for the invasion; if you wish to do so, go right ahead. I'm rather arguing for what needs to be done now. It's not hard to be critical of the Bush administration's after invasion stuff. They are not stepping up to the issues right now. Let's hope the delay is not a long term one.

Their future may be uncertain, and some may fret and worry about this or that happening smoothly, but they cannot deny the evil, which has been replaced by America's bold foreign policy decision to take out that despicable regime.

It's hardly worth still debating, Michael, but you raised it. This was not the goal of this administration, merely a spin routine to get voters on board. It's about the role of oil in the global economy and ratcheting up the fear quotient for American's use of military power. Saddam was a convenient target for that.
