I'll take your avoiding the question as not having an answer... for now.

Sure, buddy, sure

Every primary reason given to nation build in Iraq has been debunked, dismantled or discredited. Props can be given for removing a inhumane dictator, but that reason doesn't stand up to the consistency test and was not given as a primary reason for invasion.

Bush blatantly lied when he said in his campaign that he wouldn't do nation building. If this was truly his stance he would not have put a bunch of neocons, who have advocated nation-building in the middle east since the end of gulf war I, in key positions through out his administration. [/QUOTE] Look, if you want another the war is just, the war is injust debate, go look through the archives, I sure as hell am not doing it again. I have made all the points (in the past) about what I thought about the war. They have been some mistakes, but I, along with the majority of the population, support the war.

As far as the nation building, would you like us too leave it like it is, no building at all. Wait,wait,wait, lemme guess. This wouldn't have happened if we had a througly thought this out, and didn't rush too war. There wouldn't have been riots and looting if was had our allies to help. There wouldn't be gurilla attacks if Bush didn't go in looking the rape the country of its oil. Or all of the above? Your choice.
