I think you need to look at the lives saved from Saddam's madness. american-reporter.com After all, we did not deliberately attack any large-scale civilian targets with the intent to kill as many civilians as possible. Instead, we attacked any number of buildings that were mostly devoted to furthering the cult of Saddam Hussein, and killed hundreds of innocent Iraqis as a unavoidable byproduct - victims of that phenomenon sadly known as "collateral damage." We still have a lot of anger. We are broke economically, but we have a generous surplus of moral outrage.

<< I am also saddened by the loss of life caused by the Bush failure in diplomacy. >> Now you have me completely confused. The war SAVED lives and will save many, many lives in the future. If "diplomacy" had gone better, what would have been the result? France providing soldiers to fight along side our troops? Now THAT would have reaaally helped. Dave

Is that the one where France, Russia & Germany thwarted because they didn't want to be exposed for their direct involvement in illegal arms sales to Iraq? Or that all three have more than $100 billion in debt owed to them by Iraq? Or that all three have very lucrative ongoing contracts with Iraq that will all be worthless if the Butcher of Baghdad were to be deposed. Sounds more like political back stabbing from unscrupulous foreign countries, doesn't it?
