ss, the problem is, going into debt to fight a war, even a basically unopposed war like this one, was good politics. The knuckle draggers are all saying "we were attacked." True. The fact that we weren't attacked by the people we fought in the war doesn't seem to be important.

But, ballooning the huge Bush deficit to make Iraq liveable is not popular at home. We have taken away the Iraqi's ability to make things better, but won't do what is necessary to make things better ourselves.

Net, net: small nations' resistance to American hegemony will increase.
