Mercenary..Agree the war has not been properly handled.I would add that though the cause was noble, I felt it worthless. Why? Because the Iraqis are saddled with an Islamic and tribal mentality of revenge and hatered! Their sectarian jealousies (typical in the middle east) lock then into a primitive existence. The only reedeemer is their oil reserves without which they would still be riding on camels.
A better course for Bush would have been to invade, conquer, hang Saddam and his evil cadre and then leave!


Thus we play the fools with the time, and the spirits of the wise sit in the clouds and mock us.
