Reply #25: Not too long, IMHO

The world's people haven't been going along with it.

Turning Iraq into a colony would imply a basic responsiblity for the place which we're never going to get.

It's an unbelievable sham and anyone who argues that Bush isn't a dumbass can take Iraq as a direct refutation. He thought he'd have a cute little war like his dad did.

His dad really botched the first Gulf War, and history was just about to let him off the hook except for Gulf War Part Duh. And the really tragic thing is that we set Saddam up, just like we set bin Laden up, 'cause we thought we could turn them into our bitches, like so many other people around the world.

Saddam was a world class asshole, but so are lots of people. The difference is that we gave him all his weapons and kept him in power. He needed to be gone a LONG, LONG time ago, but we kept propping him up.

We're the prison guards arranging fights among the prisoners and then shooting them for causing a disruption.
