Doug...you are simply evading the point ...again.... "let sleeping dogs lie" is a fine idea when the dogs are locked in a yard and well watched, and you never SAW them bury any dangerous bones!

I never said Saddam should have been 'left alone' to do evil forever, nor have I said or suggested that terrorism should not be fought in the right place. I never said a WORD when our forces were pursuing Osama in Afghanistan, and I would have cheered if they'd caught him...etc..

But THIS WAR in Iraq was a lame, careless, misguided pretense at 'fighting terrorism'...At the time it was started, the terrorists that we wanted were NOT connected to Iraq, and it has been **SHOWN** since that the information that Saddam had serious weapons was flawed and suspect, even then!!!!!

And...even if Iraq had been proved to have WMDs, we (meaning Bush & Co.) chose the wrong way to go about doing anything about it!. We had little support for that invasion, because most other nations could see that the risk, when balanced against the weak evidence, was dangerous.

If we were in this current situation, with billions being spent and thousands of soldiers being killed because a Democrat had invaded Iraq on such shakey evidence, you would be howling for his skin!
