<if you don't like the fact that Saddam was overthrown> Get over yourself, overthrowing Saddam accomplished nothing. Bush Sr. could have done it in a matter of a few days. Clinton could have done it. Overthrowing Saddam was never a case of it being a hard thing to do. It was a case of it being a stupid thing to do -- which is why only a weak-minded President like Bush Jr. would do it. Stronger Presidents resisted the pressure from the self-serving war lobby. Bush Jr. had neither the experience, the brains nor the courage to understand the implications. He had Rumsfeld do the planing and Rumsfeld made all the mistakes of an ideological fool who would not listen to others.
