RE: "a strongman like Saddam was necessary" LOL...he murdered to maintain. He harbored terrorists, without question. He needed to go, and is gone. Saddam was likely too effective at keeping together an "artificial" country indeed. Dan B.

This is really about oil. Bush-Cheney don't give a damn about the Iraq people. It's about oil. So keep the oilfields under guard. Leave 40,000 troops in the area, but keep them out of sight. Wrong, this is about the possibility of bringing long term stability in one of the most dangerous places in the world. Pulling out before Iraq has a constitution in place and an army that's trained to enable enforcement of that constitution would be doing exactly what the insurgents want and thinking that this will all go away once we pull out of Iraq is just wishful thinking.
