"The blindness of the Bush's administration, is taking the ME to a new heights of uncertainty, which in turn creates pressure on Israel and Israel's goons put pressure on the Bush's administration and Bush makes more mistakes." Not to mention the $20 a barrel "fear tax" on oil, that goes directly to the countries that FUND the terrorists. Bush's dumbass war HAS "paid for itself" - for our enemies!

The price for that stability was that you could not criticize the ruling party. Compare to what you have today, Saddam ruling was a blessing. The price of that stability was the deaths of millions of Iraqis. Hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children, even infants, massacred and thrown into mass graves, many having been tortured to death in gruesome and ingenious ways, e.g., being throw into shredders. The rest dead of diseases caused by deprivation. That was "better"? I've never understood the argument that dictatorships are better because they make the trains run on time. What is this fascination, this adulation, of the loss of personal freedom to authoritarian tyrants? Is it better to die on your feet, a free man, or live on your knees, a slave? Anyway, this particular tyrant won't be able to enslave his subjects again, so weep all you want.
