Yes, but the attempt nation building, not so much...
"Nation building" is precisely why we keep getting in trouble.

Sadly, I have no doubt you believe this sincerely.
Yes. Does that justify our actions in Iraq? No.Its not our job to overthrow foreign nations leaders.
Wait a sercond ... what standard are you holding him up to? And what is Blair supposed to say? Blair is now held in contempt by many Brits for being the Bush's gofer ... I agree, he's not as dumb as Palin or Quayle, but come on guys ...
History's judgments evolve over time. I think I'll let a little more go by. Thanks.
The world is a better place now because we don't have GWB in the whitehouse lying us into more wars and driving this country to the brink of economic and moral bankruptcy. The Iraq war has nothing to do with it.

The mere act of repeating nonsense doesn't make it any less nonsense.
Your saying that something is nonsense doesn't make it nonsense.
You can call a cow a horse, but that won't help it win the Kentucky Derby.
Most historians and most academics in general with advanced degrees are liberal. That is a fact.
How do you think that future, liberal, academics will judge Bush?
It will not be a friendly court.
The USA should start doing almost all of its "Nation building" inside U.S. borders, there's plenty to do in the USA.
After we get the USA squared away would be a good time to start 'thinking' about helping others.
It is the same as saying the world is better with him.
In order to get rid of Saddam Hussein the USA spent about $1 trillion (and counting), lost 4,500 dead, and 30,000 wounded American warriors, killed and wounded hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi's, and pretty much destroyed Iraq's infrastructure.
The only country to gain from the Bush mis-administration's illegal war in Iraq was and is Iran. The USA and the West gained nothing in Iraq.
That tells me that getting rid of Saddam Hussein did not make the world a better place.
A lot of Iraqi's say that it didn't even make Iraq a better place. My mind is still open on that one.
Oh do I ever AGREE with your comments! Kudos
Oh, well, by that measure, leaving Hitler in power would have been a grand bargain. Seriously, how does one get so twisted as to think such as you do?
Are you serious? Equating taking out Hussein to taking out Hitler? Talk about twisted ...
Simple-take the opposite of anything that the Bush mis-administration said about the Iraq war and you will have the truth.

I'll leave you to figure out what I actually meant; my threshold for suffering those who can't follow a train of thought two cars long is at its limit for today.
I do because it's the truth, pretty much everything that Bush and his gang said about Iraq turned out to be lies.
And it certainly won't help Bush's bottom basement image in future history books.
my wife just saw this and asked if you could rebuild me while you're at it ...
It's only natural that things get worse before they get better in such a situation. I'm sorry that you can't accept what has happened, but it happened and now crying over it online isn't going to change a thing. The thing we need to do is look to the future and not at the past.

I would be interested to see how resilient americans really would be if the same thing happened to them.
WMD in Iraq was the lie.
