Not to sound like a Dem but are we better off from the war in Iraq? We have a few thousand dead military and gained several hundred billion in debt. And for what? They still hate us and we get no break on their oil. Bush and Cheney made an error to go into Iraq which was a natural enemy to Iran.
No, we are not better off. Too bad we can’t give the Iraqis Saddam Hussein and his reign of terror. From all of their misery since the US invasion, it seems they would be much happier with their former great leader.
