... is just plain wrong and utterly naive and simple-minded. You completely misconstrued the point.

The bottom line is that we could have easily have ignored Iraq. The sanctions were working...Saddam was a threat to no one.

The war in Iraq diverted our attention from the main event - Afghanistan and OBL. And our complete abdication of the Palestinian/Israeli conflict meant the root cause of the troubles in Middle East weren't going to get addressed. This was a terrific miscalculation of the Bush administration driven by the simpleton idiots that make up the neocon movement in this country.

Nobody said we would have "peace on earth." But we'd be much better off today if we hadn't launched this misadventure in Iraq. It was a bad idea created by bad thinking.

Wake up Tom. The Bush plan isn't working. Its time to replace it with something that will.
