>>"Yeah great.. wait until Saddam fell so we'd see another Islamic Republic like Iran, except them time militant Wahhabist/Salafist.. financed by the second largest reserves of oil in the world (or possibly now the largest) What a truly wondering plan that would have been."<< I have looked at this post of yours several times and I am constantly amazed at the sheer stupidity... First we were told that we could not wait because of the WMDs and now a total idiot says that if we had waited until the, probable even imminent fall of Saddam, the Shia, Baathists, Sunnis and Kurds, not to mention the Christians, Turkmen et al would have turned their country into "Whahhabist/Salafist" state, similar to what... our "good" allies, Saudi Arabia. Wow, the only force on the planet even remotely capable of turning Iraq into such a place is Bush and his invasion. Man, if you are in Iraq, get some R and R quickly.
