I never had a real problem with the war, per se. I just fail to see why
we needed to isolate ourselves, and never saw any evidence that they
thought through the process of rebuilding Iraq. That makes the war
a Bad Idea, however laudable the goal of ripping off Saddam & Sons' 
heads and sticking them on pikes.

I don't think Monty Python could have scripted a more farcical
occupation than we've led.
