I wonder what he would say if asked "Was allowing Saddam to remain in power for 20+ years a grave mistake?".

I don't think he is saying that the world should not have worked to change Iraq...anymore than we should be working to solve other human disasters in the world. It's the how, not the what.

I wonder what the Iraqi Kurds and Shias think of that question as well?

Well, i think iraqis want us out at this point...

Iraq was a "grave" mistake, but said Italy would remain on the front lines in the war against terror. Iraq was a "grave" mistake, but said Italy would remain on the front lines in the war against terror.

I wonder if American support of Iraq 20 years ago was a grave mistake? What do you think?

I wonder what the mothers, wives and children of the thousands upon thousands of Kurds and Shias that Saddam killed, gassed, deformed, humiliated, enslaved and maimed during the period of his leadership would answer if asked "Was allowing Saddam to remain in power a grave mistake?"

I wonder what they must think when they find out that America sold Saddam the materials enabling him to gas, kill and enslave these people?
