Now you can disagree with that, but that was the basis of US policy in the region.

If Iraq ends as a stable, moderate, republican government, it was worth the blood, treasure, and time. It will mean that SOMETHING positive came out of 9/11.
These could have been exactly my words .. in 2003.

I had a lot of arguments with other germans at the time, when I took the position that our politicians are all opportunists and they have no ****ing clue whats going on in the world.

Today I find it, with respect, unbelieveable that people still believe in it.
