I don't agree that Bush lied about Iraq. I think like everyone else he was going from the best information that he had available. It's regrettable that France and other European countries did not see fit to prioritize Bush's appeals to them for assistance over their own greed and business interests with Saddam. I do think we should be getting some free oil from Iraq and that they should pay for their own reconstruction with their own oil.

Saddam Hussein buried women and their families in mass graves!!! That doesn't come from Bush----we have Iraq women in my area from whom I have been privileged to hear their poignant stories of the atrocities. Women who were able to escape and come here leaving family behind. Saddam Hussein was an evil dictator. What rights? To be killed and see your family killed? Your words---Koan's words: "We are being played for fools in Iraq. Sadam at least had a secular governemtn with quite a few rights for women. the shia clerics will reinstitute shira law, and destroy the sunnie."
