Frankly anyone may be right in their opinion about Iraq but I don't see where the Bush admin gains in having a Shiite autocracy in Iraq along the lines of the hostile one in Iran. What's the advantage?

These guys are fascists and they would like to see BigOil and BigDefense and BigDrug running rampant through a consumerist society friendly to US goods and services. After all, if Saddam hadn't invaded Kuwait he'd still be our good bud. The admin wouldn't have wanted to topple him and install an Iranian-style government in his place.

I also think that there's true incompetence in the admin along with the rampant corruption. They really did think that Iraqis would be happy to see us and that Bush would be celebrating Xmas in Baghdad.
