Unfortunately taking out Saddam is not going to do us much good. While we all salute the forces and wanted Saddam out, let's face it, he wasn't a direct threat to the US and Bush just expended 9 months of his presidency fixated on Saddam to such a degree that everything else including our economy has gone to hell in a hand-basket in the meantime, funds spent in Iraq qill be drained from crucial domestic needs, not to mention shattering our key alliances which will take years (and a new president) to mend. Because our major manufacturers sell about 50% of their exports overseas, this anti-Bush wave across the globe is likely to have a severe dampening effect on profits for some time to come. We need a president who can heal the global and economy and get it firing on all cylinders again. Without this, Bush can take out half the Middle East and the terrorists still win.
