I am glad he is gone and think the way it was done was fine. MHO about the Saddam issue.

As for the "other" things, they are all small parts to the larger picture I believe. The Iran / Iraq war.... really was the US / Soviet war. We pumped everything to Iraq, the Soviets pumped everything to Iran. It was a "wargame" between the 2 superpowers IMO. I think we are still playing it though.... look who is still pumping money and technology to Iran and other "rogue" nations (N Korea)... the former Soviet Union. They are broke and are looking at aligning themselves with people to help them defeat us (US). Remember the saying "...the enemy of my enemy is my friend..." the Soviets are using this.

What most tree hugging peacenics don't realize is that if Iran or any rogue nation actually gets nuclear power and the ability to deliver it "across the pond", all bets are off and the world will become a very different place. Then, when we do finally go nuclear (and we will I believe), things will change virtually overnight. The Soviets and the US always had a very good deterrent for nuclear war.... MAD or "Mutually Assured Destruction" which basically is the end of the world as we know it. The Middle East wants the end of the world to complete the predictions of their so called "religion".

I believe that we took Iraq and Saddam out for a much larger reason that WMD and his attrocities. It is for the larger part of the overall puzzle of how to keep things from escalating out of hand.

As for Bush, I really liked him in the beginning, but the last 2 years I have not. His vision has gone away and he seems to be "coasting" and leaning away rom his roots. That is why the Dems won so many seats recently. I will not vote for the Hildabeast though no matter what... or Obama. No matter how much I dislike Bush recently, I believe he did a good job with what was handed to him as unemployment is waaaaay down, the tax breaks were nice, stock market is at record levels, and the economy is growing. This isn't just helping the rich, I am middle (and I do mean middle) class but my 401k has really benefited from the last 2 years of the Bush economy.
