Did we make the same mistake with Iraq that we did with Iran?

Yes and no......Hussein had to go...but we should have replaced him with OUR strongman.

These people are not ready for Democracy...their Islamo-fascist religion precludes it.

Right on! Political assassination and dirty covert activity overseas is absolutely required. Ford and Carter share responsibility for castrating our covert services. This has brought us to the point of potential defeat.

I'm not convinced that Hussein "had to go." We don't need perfection from strongmen like that. He kept the lid on things. Yes, he attacked Kuwait, but no one is perfect and that was pushed back. Silly to talk about it now, though...we have to look forward.
