RE: Boris: [...] Hey, (s)peaking of uniformed, ignorant voters, which party’s voters believe that Iraq had WMD and Saddam had strong links to Al Qaeda? I forget… [...]”
Not so fast, Boris boy – I (and probably many others who supported the Iraq war) was never convinced that Iraq had WMD. However, after considering America’s long term interests, then reviewing Hussein’s habits and situation (remember, intelligence has shown that he was ready to launch another war, and this for the simple reason that he was aware that he was riding a tiger which needed bleeding – the Iraq army), I found that war on Iraq was simply an ugly yet necessary choice. And it looks that history, rather sooner than later, will confirm this.
Further on the Iraq WMD as “casus belli” – in a matter with potential for so much destruction, strong suspicions based upon a consistent record of deliquency should always make one err on the aggressive side.
To close – now compare the deck Bush had in 2002 with the one the winner of 2008 election will have when dealing with Ahmadinejad & his cohorts. Not an elating situation.
