[QUOTE="Slothrop, post: 167395, member: 4707"] wkmac, I'm going to assume you mean a 'moot' point, rather than a 'mute' point. The reasons for overthrowing Saddam have changed as the fog that the Bushi'ites used to obfuscate the real reasons has been lifted. It was never about freeing a people, it has always been about a grand vision by people who have choosen to ignore history. My greater concern is the position that their folly has left us in. Our standing in the world community has been tarnished badly. Those who were once our friends no longer trust us. The big winners in this fiasco will likely be the Russians and the Chinese. Their influence is rising rapidly. Since I'm on probation (again) this post won't show up for hours, if at all, so I'll leave my response at that for now. [/QUOTE]
