the stain of Iraq

The invasion and occupation of Iraq should serve as an a warning to future administrations that the goal of ending "tyranny everywhere" is unrealistic and dangerous. Dangerous to our national security, dangerous for our troops who are given this incoherent task and dangerous for the psyche of our country.

Like most, I don't believe George Bush had good intentions for the people of Iraq. His goal was simply to remove Saddam Hussein and the rest was an afterthought. He has explicitly stated the cleanup of Iraq will be left to future presidents, meaning the financial burden of restoring Iraq if at all possible, will be left to the American taxpayer.

How unconservative.
