    I guess it's better than having a lighstick shoved up your butt, or having to wear a dog collar, or being drowned.

    Just trying to build tomorrow's terrorists today.

    What a mess this president and his supporters have gotten us into.

      Walden, Saddam would have raped, tortured and executed the convicts entire family. On that note from your statements, are you saying Iraq was better off with that type of leader? We could cut & run leaving the country to Iran. I suppose that would make you happy.

        Yeah, to be honest with you I preferred the costs and benefits of the policy of containment. His country was cut in three by no fly zones. The weapons inspectors were running around. We probably wouldn't have lost the 4,000 troops, the tens of thousands wounded and borrowing $2,000,000,000 a week from our enemies for it. How much would gas be without the instability?

        Yeah, I think the US was better off with Saddam in power. Crazy isn't it?

        Of course who knows where Iraq may be in 10, 20 or 50 years, so the final chapter hasn't been written.

          When Saddam was in power, the Iraqis where free to leave the country. Iraqis who disliked Saddam left Iraq. Since Bush's invasion, thousands of Iraqis civilians died. Bush's shock & awe strategy killed thousands. After that, a civil war broke out. There is a power vacuum that hasn't been filled yet.

          The Iraqis won't allow us to decide who will lead them next. We should get out & let them decide what to do with their country.

            Hamas teaches children from the time they can walk to hate. In Palestine 50% of 6 and up want to become suicide bombers. Their mothers are proud of this aim and encourage it. This is the type of people we are dealing with. Remember they sent two retarded girls into a pet market in Iraq with bombs tied around them and blew them up by remote control.

            We should just ignore these kinds of things. Typical liberal. Everybody is peaceful. All children are innocent.

              I'm not a liberal. I'm a realist. A businessman. I like to collect information, analyze the information, make projections, measure results and make adjustments.

              When I consider all of the above it appears to me that Saddam Hussein was doing a fine job of keeping the suicide bombers in Iraq to a minimum prior to us getting sticking our noses into it.
