Blix is convinced that the invasion of Iraq was a mistake, even though he agrees that the world is better off with Saddam Hussein. He draws a balance, with the removal of Saddam as weight on one side, and several other things weighing heavier on the other. Among the downside weights he cites the death and destruction of the war, the trouble in Iraq since the invasion, and the continued activity of terrorists. So in balance he thinks the war was a mistake.

Blix and I are in complete agreement here.

Lies and deception are the hallmarks of BOTH parties. It's not exclusive to one side or the other. Our political system needs some fixing on BOTH sides for it to serve the people as it was intended.

Lies and deception have no place in the decision to go to war. When you send people into harms way, and you inflict death on 10's of thousands of people and injure countless thousands more, you must be certain of your actions. You must have a plan for the aftermath.

It's clear to me that Bush had neither.

Thanks for posting,
