The lying is only one issue.
The other problem is we can't TELL if the region will be better off. If the moderate Arabs are destabilized because of this we, the US, certainly won't be better off. If Turkey moves in to annex parts of Iraq no one will be better off. If the factions begin to fight for power (which I have no doubt they will) the Iraqi people AND the region will not be better off. If an Iranian style religious state is established the region will not be better off (and the Iraqi people probably won't be better off either). The negative outcomes are far more numerous and likely than the positive- which makes one wonder how the rose tinted glasses folks manage to see only positives for the Iraqi people. Is Bush passing out Soma to the folks who support him?
