How are they worse off? Seems to me we have liberated country of 50 million people. I guess getting to vote makes one worse off. I guess no more ethnic cleansing makes one worse off.
I did say "in some ways." For example, infrastructure is still about the same as when Saddam was in power, despite millions of dollars to Dick Chenney's cronies. I'm not saying ethnic cleansing is good but this thread was regarding the connection between 911 and Saddam and Iraq not whether or not we are responsible for stopping ethnic cleansing. What about Darfur? Oh, wait, I guess they were not involved in 911. (my bad )

I guess I just don't get it.
I guess you don't!
