Well, yes. But you aren't moved to stomp his brains out, are you?

The problem of Iraq was difficult, many faceted and far beyond the capabilities of the Bush gang. They don't do subtle. Evasive, underhanded, secretive are the closest they can get.

There's a LOT of blood in the sand that didn't need to be there. We're not just talking about upsets or spitting matches; we're talking about human beings torn apart by flying lead and steel, tissues and muscles ripped to shreds, leading to death. American death, Iraqi death, the fact is that VERY FEW of those deaths involved anyone who was originally involved in the situation or actually causing it. Maybe the Hussein boys qualify.

From this perspective I would say needless is an excellent word, but not because Hussein would have made peace, as Deda pointed out.
