TROOP FATALITIES....whose to blame?

[VRM]

Jamo,
I still disagree that Hussein had to go (why are so many of us on a first name basis with him? ). I think that when he finally gave up power to one of his sons then the Iraqis would have taken care of business themselves, and we would not be left holding the bag. You have to be willing to fight for your own freedom. The majority of Iraqis were just not there.

I do agree with your comments about civil war - Iraq really needs to sort this out themselves. We dismantled all the political structures - that pretty much insures that it is going to be even worse. Dismantling the Iraqi army was also a very bad idea.

If we pick a side then all of the other groups will be out to get us - if we don't pick a side then the civil war just might be very long and very bloody. Unfortunately, the winning side could very well end up aligning the country with Iran. I don't think the moron in the White House understood that before we went in.
