"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." -- Edmund Burke

We're not "pointing fingers" at the Iraqi people, nor are we demonstrating that they are in any way less that we are. This is about finally getting around to removing a horrible government that commits atrocities against its own people. I think everyone in the world should be ashamed for letting things go on like they have for so long. No matter the moral failures inside the US, when something is right it is right.

[img]graemlins/erm.gif[/img] The only unfortunate conclusion I can reach from this line of reasoning is that it means that Coalitions of nations must continue to form to "assist" evil governments out of power. I don't think the world is ready for that just yet.

In a feeble attempt to steer the thread back onto its original topic...I think the worst "miscalculation" actually happened years ago when the US failed to remove Hussein at the end of the Gulf War. Bush Sr. was director of the CIA for years and should have understood the concept of "rectifying errors in judgement".
