Bushbaby had allies, but he went in with the bulk of the world, including many of his father's allies, against him. And the reason they were against him is because the world recognized that GWB 's reason for war was geopolitical, it was an attempt to impose a strategic reality on the region that favored American interests and no one elses'.
When a country invades another to secure resources or to gain a strategic advantage, that is agression. Pure and simple. You had me fooled with WMDs and AL-Quaeda but that was at best stupidity, and possibly a deliberate lie. And the more I learn, the more I am inclined to believe the latter.
There is no myth TB, only your desperation to cling to this delusion of conservative moral infallibility. This man, his circle and the philosophy he champions are hopelessly foul and corrupt.
