Re:Good at war, bad at peace (Score 1)

I must disagree with your premise. 6.5 years ago the world was indeed telling the US that there was cause for war. I hate to reiterate facts, here, but there were years and years of sanctions that amounted to a state of war that were justified by the universal (or nearly) belief that the Saddam regime would use WMD again. The us did not concede that there were not WMD, again - they were there, they were used vs the Kurds and more stockpiles of nerve gas were found. This was reported in the NY Times, this is not speculation. I am not writing this to support the conduct of the Bush administration - they have failed to win the peace and they have failed to effectively articulate their goals for Iraq. And that is just the beginning of my problems with them - but let's not simply offer opinion as fact, here.
