We had overwhelming support all over the world after 9-11. Any half-assed diplomat could have harnessed that into harsh and relentless weapons inspections. But we got Bush Jr. whose attitude and obvious desire for war put everyone off. We could have continued inspections and in the mean time garnered more support from other countries to invade if necessary. But we didn't. We shot our wad, went in and now the majority of the world (not just the middle east) thinks we're ignorant rabid cowboys who want to get their hands on the oil.


Let me ask YOU JackieDaisy, what should we do with Israel and Zimbabwe. Israel has the most infractions against the UN. More so than Iraq. What about Zimbabwe? Why are we not invading and deposing of Mugabe??
