All correct... where's Bin Ladin? Ooops. Bush invaded Iraq instead of
dealing with the real threat. Saddam was a dictator who brutalized his
people, but he wasn't a threat to the US or his neighbors at that time. He
might have become a threat, but there was no need to split our effort. Did I
mention poppy/heroin production is back on track in Afganistan? I guess we
don't have enough troops to deal with that either.

I found this interesting read from Michael G. Leventhal over the
dojgov.net. It gives an interesting historical perspective on our
current war on terror. It appears that dealing with the Muslim fanatics
has a long history in our Republic:

There seems to be some pretty good evidence now that Saddam was a
stabilizing influence in the Middle East, rather than the destabilizing
force we thought him to be. After Iran overtakes Iraq, the Muslim civil war
that will likely ensue should be a whopper.

Wonder if he'd like his old job back?

Saddam should be governor of New Jersey.

I was thinking more like Mayor of New Orleans.

That would be cruel & unusual punishment. Besides, can a
ourt sentence him to that? I thought he had to be appointed
by the libby-rull elitist cabal?

Sodomy Hussein?

He could always run for president (of Iraq) after he's found not
guilty.

There was pretty good evidence back in 1990 that Saddam was preferable to
the alternatives, credit to George I. Remember, when George II was asked if
he consulted his father re/invading Iraq and toppling the regime, he stated
that he consulted with his "other" father, his "earthly" father was probably
telling him that it was a huge mistake. War is peace.
