Alex - I respect your opinion and even agree with you to some extent about SH. But, even if you justify the invasion of Iraq, how can you advocate the mess W created by not adequately arming our troops, not sending (according to his generals) enough troops, his not having a plan to win the peace, his letting 400 or so tons of explosives disappear into thin air, and his not having a plan to win the peace. I think those are HUGE issues and W has no valid answer for them other than the stock "Iraq is free of a vicious dictator" usually coupled with "Iraq is a success and Democracy is speading thoughout it" - the latter of which is a flat out lie.
Again, I get why W wanted to go into Iraq, but he sure has made a mess of it since
