Yes Bertie, we all know George W Bush screwed up Iraq, but nobody is perfect, right?? Not even Saddam Hussein, right?

Elbuda-san,

I just don't know how the guy is running around free.

The "war" was totally illegal.

The reasons for it completely false.

The loss in terms of people killed and property damaged is HUGE.

Things might have been better if Hussein was still running the place.

@BertieWooster at what point do you think the Iraqi people need to help themselves? Yes I agree that GWBs war was completely stupid, but it still opened up the door for the Iraqi people as a whole to improve their lives by their own means without having someone carry them every step of the way. Seems like you can't get past checkpoint A to reach a better destination.

The Iraqi government is being shown up by terrorists who are intentionally trying to destabilize the current government and citizenry as much as possible on a religious level(so they can gain power themselves) and infighting by the political "leaders" that want majority power for their tribe or sect of Islamic belief. Its easy to say "Things might have been better if Hussein was still running the place" because by speculation nobody can tell what would have happened if he had.

So now that the Iraqi people have a CHOICE on what to do with their country, they need to figure out how to make it so they can maintain the ability to keep making choices that will lead them to a better standard of living. So instead of dwelling on the past, how about thinking what needs to be done to improve the future. You can't move forward if you keep looking back.
