We invaded a sovereign nation -- that is a serious matter. If we did it to rid them of wmd's that they intended to use on us, then fine. But they never had the capability to strike us -- ever. And it appears that they destroyed their third world "arsenal" back in 91. If we invaded because the people who attacked us on 9/11 were based there and were well-integrated and supported by Saddam, then fine. But the links are someplace between non-existent and trivial in a region where countries like Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and others provide environments where terrorists flourish. As for establishing "democracy", that will take decades to evaluate and the odds are, to put it mildly, not that great. In the mean time, terrorism is flourishing in Iraq in the environment we ourselves have created. Americans die every day. We have alienated key allies. We have stretched our military too thin and now have trouble responding to real threats because we are bogged down in Iraq. And there is no end in sight. To be critical of an Administration that would put the United States in such a stupid position is not the same as being critical of "America" -- it is to express concern for the damage that is being done to "America" by the President and his closest advisors.
