..................... FDR completely destroyed the fascists. Were there any armed nazi units running around, anywhere, after 1945? No! Bush should have followed that example, but didn’t........................
I wonder how the Clinton, Bush years would have faired if Bush I had taken that advise and marched into Baghdad and took out Saddam??
That's a very interesting question. Some people that Bush I was correct in leaving Saddam in place, and Bush II was wrong in removing him.
The thinking is that Saddam provided a real counterweight to Iran. And Saddam was fundamentally against Al Qaeda because he did not want to end up sharing power with them.
I personally believe that that thinking is correct. Saddam should have been pushed out of Kuwait. But then he should have been monitored, and left in power.
