Yes, I understand your view. It relies heavily on the benevolence of the invader.......IMO a risky proposition. Absolutely! You're one of the few that gets it... History is full of "benevolent" invaders. Britain is a fine and recent example...the world is still busy cleaning up the messes it left behind. Al

Not correct. Bush would probably say that the people of the sovereign nation of Iraq were being denied their freedom by an oppressive dictator, so the coalition liberated them and is currently in the process of returning their freedom to them. If Saddam has no "right" to rule Iraq, removing him isn't an attack on the country, it is an attack on his oppressive regime. Seriously, Elroy, you've got to stop with this BS. You are playing right into the hands of Karl Rove. Bush could care less about the freedom of the Iraqis. Most likely, Bush has a personal vendetta against Saddam while Karl Rove is trying to please their base and the US need for oil. It has nothing to do with democracy or freedom or any of other BS put out by this WH. I think the desert sun must be getting to you. Evil takes on the appearance of good for a reason. Think about it. Go talk to Mary, I never understood these fine nuanced comments from her either. Evil does not present as bad. That would be too easy and nonproductive. Evil presents as good. Its human nature for people to want to see good in their leaders. So Evil gives them what they want. If Bush presented as bad, would people follow him? Of course not.....so he presents as Bush, the good. Do you understand now? ted
