Bye, bye Blair!

This goes back to my comment that after 9/11 if not the invasion of Kuwaitt, something had to be done about SH and the situation in Iraq. Was that something the invasion of Iraq to topple SH? I think that the invasion was not a wholly bad idea. I support this statement by noting that if the US had had a coherent plan and/or Iraq was peaceful soon thereafter, we would not be having this debate. The vast majority of the naysayers of the invasion and the Iraqis themselves would be saying "well, the invasion was likely wrong, but look at the good that came out of it - so bad west for invading, but we really owe ya one" Sadly, W screwed it up like he screws everything else up (the man has not one victory in any area under his belt save)

As for Iraq now - it should be three countries. If the US had given the oilless part of Iraq a trillion dollars to start their own country, we'd have gotten off cheaper Sadly, that is not the situation.
