We'll see if this "Democracy" is maintained and survives for a decade.

It'll collapse and a dictator will come into power and deaths would have been for nothing no doubt.

Even though I agree with you, the operation could have been handled much much much much better. Starting with not alienating our Allies, by having enough troops to do the job, not sabotaging Afghanistans mission. Bush should have waited a year, and gave an opportunity for the UN to make a show of trying to do something at least then we would be the heros like we were in Desert Storm. Geopolitically it was a very miscalculated operation. Having said its great Iraq is getting better by the day, but not at the cost.

Amazing how liberal conspiracy nuts will sit there and claim Bush Lied when Saddam has a history of having and using WMDs, lead everyone to believe he had WMDs, refused to allow inspectors inspect the areas they wanted to inspect and everyone regardless if they were a democrat or republican claimed Saddam had WMDs. Seems to me that any reasonable person would agree Saddam had WMDs,after all if looks like a duck,quacks like a duck and behaves like a duck then it might be a duck.

Oxy and Garza,

Yes, it could be settled in another way.
Yes, the operation itself could go smoother.
But that's all in the past now, let the results speak for themselves.
The dictator was brought into justice for his deeds, and now Iraq is becoming more and more of a democracy, a good thing, yes?

We can't judge what happened in Iraq right now, only history can when we see and judge if our actions really did make a difference for the better and towards democracy which i don't think will last.
I think we just gave Iran an ally in ME whereas previously Iraq was Iran's main fear.

Bringing Saddam to justice means little to me, was not worth going into the country and destroying it for one man. He is no Hitler, so why bother?

Here's another prophecy for you:
Soon the Iranian regime would fall and a new one shall take its place.
Of course, this is just a prophecy, you can choose to believe it or ignore it.

First of all, that was only one of the results.
Secondly, he was a douche who killed ****loads of innocents, so in one way or another justice was served.

There is Prophecy and then there is delusional.

So?
The British killed alot in Iraq, so did Americans.
Hell, millions of people die every single day by the hand of some dictator.
Saddam means little to me and hardly something to cheer.

You can't call a prophecy delusional.
What's wrong with you, it doesn't use evidence for support.
