As some of you know, one of my eldest Sons was in this last war on Iraq.
From what he has told me, (not what CNN told us) The Iraq's threw everything they had at us. We were by far and large superior.
I think that it was only a matter of time that the US and Iraq were going to go head to head. Hiding your head in the sand and pretending everything was OK didn't work with Hitler and it wouldn't work with Hussein. They were the same type of people.
I for one, am damn glad that he DIDN"T have any WMD, or we would be bringing our dead home by the thousands like we did in WWII.
Someone had to curb this animal, and it is better done now than later. More often than not, world politics is a messy business, requiring us to choose between the lesser of two evils.
I think the man (Bush) did what he felt was the right thing to do.
It is rather easy for us to sit here after the fact and be critical of his actions.
Remember hind sight is always 20/20.
