Know exactly how you feel, friend.
...One correction though...History will show President Bush not only acting boldly following a direct threat to our national security, but moving with vision.
Osama bin Laden, and his network of Islamofascists, declared war on U.S. and Western interests - expressly, overtly, many times. Understanding that a state of war exists, I think that Sadam Hussein would not have chosen the U.S. to side with. Just a suspicion.
In a 21st century world of Islamofascist terrorism, President Bush did not rush into Iraq - he couldn't have moved quickly enough!
I think if we had focused on Afghanistan and not Iraq. Bin Laden would be sings with the virgins right now, and whole lot of Iraqis would still be alive. Not blaming the US here, it was only an unintended and sad result of the war. The kind of thing that happens in war.
I think strictly on a moral level it was a good idea to take out Saddam, but geopolitics isn't a moral game. Note, I am not saying that the end result might be something spectacular, namely democracy across the Muslim world. I would celebrate that outcome from the highest mountain. However, Iraq during Saddam wasn't swimming with terrorists and there was good chance his government would have fallen anyway. We will never know if would have.
