No matter on whether President Bush and the Congress was right to authorize to use force in Iraq to remove Saddam from power, what happened was that we messed up the occupation.
In a way, we would had been better off if we left Iraq in May '03, and we simply kept our forces on alert in Kuwait.
After overthrowing Hussein, we should have put Chalabi in charge and given him what he needed to run the country. He would have cut the requisite deals and things would be no worse than they are in Egypt right now.
Instead, the PC crowd in the State Dept and Bush's own naive stupidity has us in this position. We are screwed, and we dont even have a client over there we can rely on. After 5 yrs! What a nincompoop.
