Hawkmoon, there have been many reasons given for the Bush invasion of Iraq, and I accept that we are there to bait the terrorist is as plausible as any. That has nothing to do with the point I was making - that Bush is a weakened leader BECAUSE of the reality of the Iraq war. Again you fall back onto idealism failing to see what has happened to America in the worlds eyes.

If your and the Bush idealism was to be meaningful and was to strengthen America, Bush had to gather the support of the world before invading - he failed to do that! That isn't their fault, it is his. ........Even more importantly the execution of the aftermath had to have had some plan!! My point was that even if the idealism that Bush is possessed with is right on target, the results of mismanagement of the aftermath have left them meaningless. The reasons for the war are meaningless to the question of how weak Bush is today because of the outcome of his actions.
