I believe if you look, it was the UN that halted Coalition forces at the border of Iraq and forbid any assault on Baghdad or Saddam Hussein. So why blame Bush? or is there something about the name you just don't like?
There are many other countries that have as horrific internal policies as Iraq, but we are not invading them. The human rights abuses was not the reason we went to war, no matter how much the spin doctors want us to 'remember that'. The reason we went to war as as 'self-protection' from the 'clear and intement danger' Saddam posed to the western world. That and the oil of course. The liberating of the Iraqi people, as noble and right that it is, is merely window dressing.
Since Iraq is the nation in question, I think it is your comments here that are irrelevant and off topic. But that is just my opinion.
