You might refer to my post of some time back "When Big Things Move". You have to know that when government make decisions, whether you agree with them or not or even if everybody agrees, people get hurt, people die. It is an awesome responsibility to be the leader of a nation because, no matter what you do, some will be hurt, some will die. Having said that, I don't expect to change anyone's mind on political issues. We spend a lot of energy just clarifying our points of view and in applying our ideologies to particular situations.

You all seem to have conveniently overlooked Bosnia and the slaughter of the Serbs. I question our involvement in that entire mess in the first place. Clinton was definitely faced with the choice of two evils. I wont go into the eight years which the more staid and less vocal conservatives suffered through with Clinton. I also don't need to rehearse the facts that Bush, Congress and the free world had essentially the same estimate of the situation in Iraq and WMDs. The US and President Bush had plenty of legitimate cause (17 violations of the UN ceasefire, etc.) to go in and take Saddam out. The pathetic prosecution of the conflict demonstrated flawed thinking and an overall wrong ideology which really, in essence, goes back to Truman and more rightly, Eisenhower.

Your casualty figures are highly disputable and as far as wars go this was verifiably the least injurious to the general population of an enemy than any major conflict the US has been involved in, by far!

The left, your left, is so rabid on Bush that had there been one shred of real evidence that he had done wrong or lied he would have been impeached long ago so you really ought to give it a rest with your blood lust. After all, who does that make you like?
