I generally don't read your incredibly long posts. I have neither the time nor the inclination to read the same take over and over ad infinitum.

I have been against the war from the start, and am glad we stayed out of it. I think Bush and friends have been the worst thing to happen to the US since I don't know when - your economy has suffered, your soldiers are dying, and the world - which post 9/11 had so much sympathy for you, now hates your guts.

Having said that, I think Bush simply chose to believe what he wanted to believe. He knew the data was shaky, but followed the course of war anyway - but, I think, genuinely believed that Saddam was a threat on some level. He was foolish, more than malicious, IMO.
