What gall.
It may or may not have been a good idea to invade Iraq. I don't fault Bush for his idealistic motives, fear of WMDs, desire to protect the oil supply or whatever. But to sit there and say we have to return the faith-based Republican Party to office election after election in order to avoid problems in Iraq is to strain credulity beyond the breaking point.
Here's the secret: you're right that Iraq is going to be even more trouble in the future than it was under Saddam, but the problem is that the Republicans have no better idea about how to fix it than the Democrats do. And they never have had an idea of how to win this war, from the day the looting started to the present. They'd rather be resurrecting Terri Schiavo than bringing democracy to a bunch of foreigners.
We need some new ideas and a fresh perspective in Washington. "Stay the course" all the way to hell is no longer a compelling option.
