Interesting Reading about Bush's War.
I don't watch any cable news anymore but if there is anyone here that do, can you tell me if it was mentioned that a lot of the ballots were disqualified during the Iraq election because they were marked with Saddam's name?

1. It's called selective democracy.
Bush gets to select the winner.

I wondered if something like this might occur. Of course, we will never be allowed to know...but what if Hussein actually won on a democratic ballot? Is that a repudiation of this administration's actions or what?

Iraq had WMD....no
Saddam was evil.....yes, relatively speaking.
But now that Saddam is one, we need to bring democracy to Iraq.
So if Iraqi's want Saddam...what have we accomplished? What have 1500 American lives, 10's of thousands of injuries, 100,00 innocent Iraqi's deaths, and $200BB of our money accomplished?

Nothing.
