ST,

There are many brutal dictators around the world.

Where and how do we start? Or are you claiming that it is only ok if we attack all of them at the same time?

Clinton's positive legacy was Kosovo, but he also abandoned Somalia and let Rwanda die. That was his failure as President and his long term legacy.

Bush's father did noble work in Kuwait and especially Somolia, but failed utterly when he abandoned the Shia's.

In my opinion Bush gets high marks for Iraq and Afghanistan, barely marginal marks for UN support in Liberia, but if he ends his presidency as a failure it will be with Africa or North Korea, not Iraq.

Remind me again who speaks for the dead, and what level of killing renders a nation states sovereignty null and void.

Strangely, today we have liberals arguing against human rights and for sovereignty. Maybe it would have been different if Saddam had been against abortion.
