The alternative is a cesspool of terrorists who are motivated enough to acquire WMD and eventually kill millions of people, not to mention the economic costs of allowing these terrorists and their ideology to proliferate. Typical black and white conservative reasoning...has no other alternative occurred to you as possible, in fact probable? Well, congratulations...Iraq is indeed now a cesspool of terror... the costs of not democratizing the M.E. are probably also staggering. Even folks within the GOP have abandoned this silly fantasy.

Good point, but I'd like to think that with freedom, comes education and economic development of Iraq, which will ultimately benefit the Iraqi people and the whole world. Agreed, but first you've gotta get to "freedom". Its this process (making the transformation from removing the dictator to setting up an environment where freedom will prevail) where George has failed, frickin MISERABLY. Its the same as a product transition in a tech company. George's goals (establishing a civil free liberal democracy in Iraq) are great. But his execution stinks. If your execution is no good, you don't achieve the goal. For this reason, it's time for George to go.
