>>>He completely obstructed the peace process.<<<

You are talking about George W. Bush, are you not? Bush's policies have gone a long way toward arousing militant extremism as seen by gains in Mid East elections in Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine and Iraq. Had Bush not invaded Iraq, there's no way those radical elements would have gained the political prominence they did in those elections.

Most folks keep forgetting that the overwhelming majority of population in Middle Eastern nations are disproportionately young people, young folks who are easily impressionable. The policies of Bush and Cheney have taught them to hate America. Indeed, hatred is a detriment to diplomacy.

>>>If Saddam didn't have WMD, he should have let the inspectors do their job, but there could be anything buried in that desert. We also know now that he was making a lot of oil for food laundry money and he was in bed with the countries that opposed us. We played games with him for a decade and he was/is a terrorist.<<<

I guess you must have thought Saddam was A-OK so long as he was our "terrorist"--remember, both Rumsfeld and Cheney did business with him.

Regarding the inspectors? I know Bush, Cheney, et. al.--many Democrats even--kept parroting the line "Saddam kicked out the weapons inspectors." Clear fact is: he didn't. The inspectors were pulled by Clinton--under intense pressure from the Monica debacle--when he opted decided to bomb Iraq, thus, withdrawing the inspectors.

Oil for Food? I realize the supposedly "liberal" media gave Sen Norm Coleman's charges the most newsplay, but you have noticed that Coleman has been relatively silent on the issue for a long, long time. On this issue, I encourage you to reexamine your position more closely:

As far as "playing games with him," Bush has chosen the most deadly of all games: war. And way, way too many Americans have died and become injured and way, way too many innocent Iraqis have died and become injured all due to Bush's deadly game.
