Yeah, we should have left Saddam Hussein alone. Nothing like this happened on his watch. A few thousand Kurds got gassed though.
I agree Siarlys. Hussein wasn't a saint, but Iraq is descending into the 7th Century fast. And Iraqi Christians are the first to feel the pressure.
No argument from me. Note that in some countries, its the Sunnis who are the voice of moderation or political opening, in others its the Shia. What does it depend on? Who is top dog. Sunnis in Iraq abandoning al Qaeda made it possible for us to exit with some sense of dignity, but the current government isn't showing any gratitude.
