You are doing exactly what you criticize me of doing. Read my previous posts.

I believe the world is better off without Saddam. I believe the world should have eliminated for the reasons of his mass murder, rape, pillaging, torture of his own people and his neighbors. I don't believe, and that is my opinion, that Israel was a major beneficiary. I believe that they were incidental beneficiaries. In fact, Jordan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and others benefit more from his removal. Again, my opinions.

Whether Saddam was a threat to us or not is a good question and I agree that the administration totally bungled the PR with the WMD thing. I still think it was good to get rid of him for the reasons stated above. However, we should have done more to get the world to come with us and there is blame to pass around there to France, Russia, as well as our own nation.
