At least in Iraq, with Bush's approach, Iraq has a fighting chance to be a stable country, albeit not perfect by any stretch, but it sure beats what would have happened had Saddam been overthrown without US boots on the ground.
Libya is headed for anarchy, and most likely Civil War.

You gotta be kidding.
Iraq is no more likely to be a stable country than Libya - and vice-versa.
Both are a bit of a crap shoot.
The ONLY diff is that we didn't have to bankrupt this country (further) and suffer 37,000 dead and wounded American soldiers (so far in Iraq) to get rid of Mommo...

“The ONLY diff is that we didn’t have to bankrupt this country (further) and suffer 37,000 dead and wounded American soldiers (so far in Iraq) to get rid of Mommo...”

Actually, those costs weren’t to get rid of Saddam. Like Mommo, that happened cheap.

The cost and loss of life was all spent trying to manage the “peace.”

Something the people celebrating about Libya (hopefully NOT us) will soon find out.
