Well, now, Doug, if I were an Iraqi and I couldn't walk through the streets of Baghdad to the local grocery store to buy a loaf of bread without the very real fear of getting caught in the crossfire between a couple of warring factions (e.g., Sunni's vs. Shi-ites) or being blown up by a car bomb, I might prefer to live under the relative tranquility of Saddam's regime despite its disadvantages than to have to endure the can of worms the U. S. "liberation" opened up.
Not to mention the on-going mess in Afghanistan. Bush's legacy. That could have been handled much more rationally.
Something needed to be done, but Larry, Curly, and Moe could have handled the whole thing a lot better than the Bush League has.
