No. Hussein's non-compliance is a matter of fact. On that we agree. That he was trying to develop more WMDs is fact. On that we agree. The truth is that you and I mostly agree. Our only sticking point--the place we rub noses and yell at each other (or used to, anyway), is the US taking it upon itself to invade.

I think the President, knowingly or unknowingly, was off his rails. The reasons he gave for the invasion in his sales job to the American people (and because of TV, the rest of the world) also included wanting to even a few things up after 9/11. The issue was clouded. He was blowin' smoke. I have always thought that Bush is too stupid to have envisioned post-war Iraq and the opportunities for some BIG cash. Those around Bush weren't. The American taxpayer has indirectly supplied Halliburton with lotsa money. I think y'all got boondoggled.
