I completely agree. We could’ve bought off Saddam or someone else in the Ba’ath Party. The Christian community has suffered immeasurably since Saddam was overthrown.
Initially I supported OIF, but the “freedom” component is sadly missing for non-muslims.
Read what Tommy Franks has written about Iraq... he quit right after he conquered iraq... he knew that not only was it going to be a problem... he knew that Bush and the State Department (brenner) were incapable of dealing with it. He wanted to turn over power to a select group of iraqi Military leaders that were pro USA... Bush wanted to nation build... and one cannot build a free nation where islam rules.
