<You may not have liked the spirit, but the letter was fulfilled. We went through the UN, and based our actions on UN Security Council resolutions.........> It has nothing to do with what I like -- it has to do with what this shameful policy did to the US -- the enormous cost that Bush imposed on us, the cost he imposed on Iraq by adopting a bungled policy approach, the cost he imposed on the families of Americans in the military, the cost he imposed on the region by launching an invasion that had greatly lower chances of success because of the bungled policy approach, the cost to the UN as an institution, and of course the enormous cost to the American tax payer, not to mention the loss of credibility of the US, or the killing of so many innocent Iraqis, and the severe strain on US military strength. It is not for me that the US should have taken an approach that respected the role of the UN -- Bush should have done it for the benefit and security of America, and for the world.
