The end justifying the means...except when it's not really the end.
I hate to join the "Coalition of the Pissy" (Glen's got a new catch-phrase! All the cool kids will be using it......"Educational quagmire! Educational quagmire!") but just because we caught bad guy Saddam Hussein doesn't mean that the unprovoked invasion was the right thing to do nor is the occupation. What's going on now among the Fighting Keyboarders is equivalent of a defensive end celebrating a sack when his team is down by thirty points in the 4th quarter. Is Iraq better off now than it was before? At the moment, yes. Will it be better off after the US Corporations finish acquiring all the Iraqi assets and have their own little colonial empire to bleed dry under the protection of a puppet military and private "security forces"? Nope. History and time don't stop with this moment, much as the warbloggers would like to believe.
The exploitation of the Iraqi people is over. Let the new exploitation begin...
Having said that, congratulations of capturing Saddam. Any chance you can find the guy who attacked America on 9/11? Remember him?
