It will take decades. It requires UN troops to take over from American/British troops when most of the violence ends. It takes investing in the infrastructure and education and hospitals, and access to global and local news that is factual, and free voting, etc. They need a hand up and respect.

The bad guys gotta go though.....

The sooner Bush is out the better.

History will prove him right....

"It's worth it"

Expensive as hell, but worth it.

there were naysayers in WW2, WW1 and the Civil War as well, but that didn't mean they were right.

Whoever is fighting for freedom and democracy is fighting for the right cause, regardless of the details. Simply put, the naysayers have no solutions, thus, they would rather have murderers like Saddam Hussein in power.

We have been so adapted to war that it is part of human culture.
Since we are the on the top of the food chain, it SEEMS as though nature created war to balance the population of humans.
