My complaint is that GWB didn’t come clean when it was clear he should have. Maybe it was ego, maybe it was a fear of telling the parents of the military personnel that their kids may have died for reasons other than those they originally thought they were going to war for. Maybe it was a fear of a drop in poll numbers. Who knows.

But ultimately, when you take a historical perspective, I like to think that in 50-100 years, a democratically-led Iraq is going to be a much more reasonable, pragmatic country to work with on world issues – one that doesn’t turn on a dime on the whim of a single person following a bastardized version of his religion.
