The Iraqi war was a stupid decision. As I've said before, even a cursory reading of mideast history could predict straight down the line what would likely happen, which is exactly what HAS happened. U.N. inspectors ssaid they couldn't find anyting and asked for more time....Bush said no, BUT the U.N was right. The French refused and warned us vis-a-vis their own experience in Algiers and the R's responded with some of the silliest verbal abuse, I've ever heard BUT the French were right. I know you can't admit you backed a losing horse and that's ok. All I was doing was offering some thoughts on what may have entered into Bush's decision making process.....
