No one forgets that everyone wanted Hussein out. That's table stakes to have a non-frivolous conversation about this stuff. The question was, how, and at what cost? You guys love to pretend that Bush's Iraq policy was the logical continuation of what Clinton was doing, but that's just not so. Containment was the obvious alternative to the Bush plan. Given the problems we now have with Iran, it's worth asking whether our whole approach to the region has been fucked up since Bush took office.
eta: Apologize for lumping Penske's moronic posts with your efforts at serious conversation.
