“Now we won the Iraq war. But the aftermath ...not so much (sarcasm).”
That was another fool’s errand brought to us by Bush the Younger and his band of Democracy Project utopians.
In their dream world religion and culture, including Islam, wasn’t something to worry about and so could be ignored. All you had to do was kill their evil dictator, give everyone the vote, and voila! paradise would ensue. Idiots.
There are well documented reasons why Bush went into Iraq but I have always believed a major factor was the fact that Saddam tried to assassinate his father. That ... I can understand.
They should left a harsh dictator in place.
