In our lifetime. Disgraceful we have left that country so much worse off than before it was Shocked and Awed.

I wish we had sent bush and cheney to the Hague for the ongoing destruction of society in that country, especially for the sake of the women and children.

If we can lay the blame at any one person's feet. When a country is based on a Theocracy,
it gives free reign to this type of behavior.

Especially since actual voting was non-existent before the war anyway.

Unless you believe Saddam Hussein won 99% of the vote every time he ran, of course. As well as everything "Baghdad Bob" had to say.

He was fun.
