1) How long are you willing to give the new Iraqi Constitution?

Before what?

Before declaring it a failure.

3) If we didn't remove Saddam, and by the way uncover the corrupt Oil-For-Food, would we be in a stronger position with an Iraq ruled by Saddam who would have surely been released from sanctions?

Don't understand this question, why would Saddam have surely been released from sanctions?

Many said that removing Saddam was a bad idea. Do you think that? If we did not remove him, he would still be in power. Prior to our invasion, sanctions were about to be removed. Therefore, he would be a dictator without sanctions which would have emboldened him and made him more powerful. Would WE have been better off with this situation?

Here is our disconnect. I already think that we ARE better off. Saddam is gone. Things are looking better in Iraq. You think that if the Constitution is not exactly to your liking that we have failed and will be worse off.

I am not saying we have failed. I am asking how an Islamic regime will benefit us.

On the constitution - I don't have an answer.

I did not realize sanctions were about to be removed, can you provide a link about this? I would certainly have been against it.

The only way I'll be able to see if removing Saddam was in our best interests is to see what the new government brings - if it brings an alliance with Iran, then no. If it is friendly to the US, then yes.
