This is one of those rare moments to celebrate regarding Iraq. One of the only good things to come of this whole mess is the elimination of a dictator who will only be missed by murderous and/or negligent ex-Baathists.

farmerfez: o wut?; +78|6955

now what would this solve? I mean im not saying i like saddam but where there bombs going off in iraq every day when was in power? Was there order? Bush coulda minded his own business but instead he had to get up in the affairs of another country which wasnt doing anything to us. We THINK Iraq had WMD's. It was never proven. This whole war was for oil and bush redeeming his father. If iraq had used WMD's it wouldve justified going in but we went in without proper intel or knowing what we would be facing and look what it got us into.

My 2 cents

IDK about the oil and whatnot. But I do have to say that, despite how monstrous of a person he was, he knew how to keep two groups of people who absolutely hate each other from going into war with each other as seen in Iraq right now.

Wow. Now watch as violence in the Middle-East magically solves itself.

Other then that I agree fully with Hurricane.

My 2 cents

The only thing that this might solve is the American stubbornness against leaving Iraq. We've eliminated the man we were aiming for now. It's time to leave. Even Bush might listen to this idea now, since he can at least spin things now on some level as "mission accomplished."

I'm convinced that Bush really would withdraw our forces if he politically could, and now that option slowly approaches. I don't normally do this, but I'll wager that we'll be out of Iraq by late 2008. He now has the political collateral necessary to leave.

And how would this be? Oh right, killing anyone he doesn't like, from either side.
