I think that in the long term, we won’t regret having invaded Iraq. We will regret having not set up a totally Islam free government there. We should have insisted that no government could be established with Islam (or any other religion) as its state religion. We should have required total freedom of religion. Then we should have eliminated anyone or any organization that opposed this fundamental right. Why Sadir(sp?) is still walking around alive is a puzzlement to me. There will be a bloody civil war between Sunnis & Shias and then the Kurds. Iran will intervene and possible annex Iraq.
That is a very good analysis of the situation. Why we would ever let islam get a foothold is the ultimate disaster of political correctness.
