Re: An elegant wiggle, tom, BUT PLEASE ANSWER THE QUESTION!
I think it is ridiculous to equate the many problems with conservatives you site with the situation in Iraq. Bush is not trampling the rights of Iraqis. Civilian casualities are very low. Far lower than the deaths Saddam has directly caused let alone indirectly. It should have been obvious beforehand and even clearer now based on the reaction to actual events that most Iraqis will be far better off with Saddam gone.
