re: Whatever, I guess in your mind it was better to stay with 20% of the population getting 100% of the wealth, and that wealth heavily concentrated within the elite of that 20%, and then stay like that for the next 50 years, rather than attempt to let all of them set up some equitable distribution.

Are you talking about the US or somewhere else (HA HA).

It's not our business. And it's certainly not our business to lose almost 1800 soldiers, 10,000 wounded, countless mentally disturbed, kill 100K civilians, spend $300Billion we don't have, ruin our reputation in the world, and break up alliances that have been carefully nurtured through all the admins since WWII.

Do you even have a concept the the cost this country has paid for the eventual Iraq civil war? And are you expecting some Disneyland democracy to emerge from this mess? There is a very good chance that whatever/whoever comes to power will be more of a tyrant that SH. And the sacrifice will be for absolute zero.
