I don't think you keep a guy like Saddam on the streets just to worry about the backlash. He was killed by his own people for war crimes. I think his story is over.

If the Sunnis choose to kill the Shiites in a bid for a power struggle, I can't see the reason to blame Bush for mishandling the way the terrorists have continued to arm themselves. Iraq is a current battle of medieval militias and insurgent fighters. It may be completely ridiculous, but we have to support the human rights of this new democratic government in Iraq. If we don't let our soldiers help the Iraqi government survive this violent transition, there will never be hope for an Iraqi government. It makes no LOGICAL to request a deadline to leave Iraq when the Iraq government is requesting our friendship and support.

Right now, the Democratic liberals are splitting hairs to gain political leverage. That's OK with me because I know they have to compete with the Republicans for office. The Iranians have to compete for higher oil prices too. They certainly like to add geopolitical risk premiums in the energy sector to consider. The main difference between N Korea and Iraq is that N Korea is begging for financial assistance and Iraan is trying to extort the money thru higher oil prices. Look who is coming to the table first. N Korea is coming to the table since they have no way of benefitting from the hostility. Iran is cashing in with missile revenues and higher oil prices.

To me, the only people that can be blaming Bush for the violence in Iraq must be trying to take his job.
