Well here we go again eh? Let me remind you; Saddam H is a very bad person. He did very bad things to his own people, and to ours. How you may ask. He rendered aid , support, and sanctuary to many terrorists who had planned and attacked the US or its embassy's. By aiding and abetting a criminal , makes him a criminal too. Get it? He's a deleted criminal. [ If you change my explotive please make sure that you change everyone elses.]
There was a book published last year on Husseins psychosis. And the book also discussed other leaders psyche. Well our Pres. is not an idiot, he's a fairly regular guy who tries to do the right thing. I like Pres. Bush because he does have integrity. You impute lies to him, but I don't believe that's intentional. He sincerely felt that invading Iraq would be a step in the long process towards mid-east peace and prosperity. His advisors probably went overboard in their enthusiasum. That's not hard to do when it brings a smile to your Presidents face. If you knew more about the man you'd realize that he does want to do whats best for America. But what's best takes time. Our fast food mind set doesn't allow for the patience we need.
Yah'll complain because economics come into the issues. (eeeewwwwww Bush and big oil) Well exactly how do you think America has gotten to be #1? Shoot we'd all have a lot more if we didn't give stuff away to just about every other country. In Iraq at least the people will eventually be self supporting ... which is more than I can say for American farmers who are subsidized into non-production. We really don't need farm subsidies when only 1% of Americans are in agriculture anymore. But I don't hear any complaints about big busines and agriculture. How come?
Everyone has known for the years since the first attempt at bombing the WTC in 1993, that the funding of terrorists was coming through Hamaas.$ 5 million of every $10 million in this charity went to terrorist organizations. Saudi royal families have allowed this to continue. Several Arab experts have written books in the last ten years stating that the Saudi's must fall in order for the middle east to have peace. When more Arabs become like the Royals in Qattar. Then the flow of $$$ to Assyria and to the Queda and Arafat will cease.
So is big business involved? It better be, who else can afford to rebuild and nation-build?
In the case of the US nation building took more than 100 years. 100 years. And those Americans had agreed to build the nation together. It wasn't until after reconstruction, and some may argue until after the civil rights campaign of the 1960s, that our nation had finally got itself to understand that the Bill of Rights was meant for everyone in the nation. Not just white men.
So imagine how long it'll take for Iraqi's and other mid-east peoples, to recognise their own constitutions. Iran is only now with a new generation beginning to flex it's muscles of Liberty. Of course flexing those muscles takes education. So in Iraq girls will be educated now (also in Afganistan). It takes time. It took time to find the sand ensconced jets, it'll take time to find everything else.
Saddam Hussein wanted to be the #1 leader of the muslim world. If you have even a thought that he wouldn't use economic means to support his endeavors and those of extremists, then you need to read more history. Not just newspapers but real history.

PS the President doesn't play banjo. And the folks around Crawford figure they dress just fine. They don't have to prove anything by the way they dress. Texans are more individual than that anyway.
