OK, Brumar...I call for Saddam to be put back in power. Do you think Bush will read my post and do it?...ROTFLMAO My original post said (or implied) that we would be better off if Saddam had REMAINED in power. If we hadn't gone into Iraq we could have secured Afghanistan completely (not just Kabul) and created a truly secure, economically viable democracy that could have given us EXTREME leverage in the entire region. Iran, Iraq, Pakistan and every other country in the region would have been impressed and TERRIFIED at how easily we routed the Taliban and turned Afghanistan into a "thriving" democracy. After we quickly routed the Taliban the Iranians were "asking" us to talk to them and the Pakistanis were quick to support us on our "war on terror". WE were in the drivers seat then and our military efficiency was THE SHOCK and AWE that could have turned the whole region. THEN we stumbled into Iraq and our impotence and incompetence there has made us look more like the Soviets in Afghanistan than the invulnerable Super Power. 9/11 gave us the opportunity of a lifetime, but a Moron Administration took that opportunity and turned it into a DISASTER...........................
