That Iraq would "slide" into a democracy? Certainly no one who had any experience in the area was saying that. I suppose we'll just have to forget who exactly it was who was putting forth that tube of slop, now won't we? No point in fault finding, must not be judgemental, or show any intellectual discernment for that matter, or any respect for the truth, when you get right down to it.
And who exactly was it who blew the stabilization and re-establishment of the economy? Rumsfeld? I don't think so...
Iraq would not have been different today if we had taken out Saddam with an airstrike? Is that what you really want to say?
Finally, bin laden is brilliant, and we leave him alive as an enemy at our peril.
I agree with you that helping him to go on his way will not end "Islamic terrorism"; only an acceptable resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will do that.

And who's assumption was that?
