Rich,

We won in Iraq,

Have you been following the news lately, at all?

Errr, yeah... have you? We're ahead of the timetable that put Germany
and Japan back together again as hugely successful democracies. I
think it's safe to say we "won" there, too (though not nearly as
easily and with many, many more lives lost).

But I suppose as long as there are a couple thousand Baathists who
hate us, there are those who will claim that we "failed"...

.... or maybe you really DO think the world was a better place with
Saddam in power???
