The point was that our leadership was stupid enough to destroy he power balance in Iran's locale. It was much more in the interests of the US to continue to prop Saddam up, than to invade, capture, and kill him. It's bankrupted us financially, strategically and morally. Saddam had it right, if he called his executioners "Persian midgets".....that is an accurate description of who the Iraqi Shi'a are, now.
Bush recently sent a US Navy armada into the Persian gulf, and he did not pull the trigger against Iran. The US has no strategy, and few allies. Since 9/11 , the US has been executing itself. So much influence and money squandered. The biggest loser on the gallows the other day in Iraq, was not Saddam. He went out wiht his head held high. He's gone, and so is our future as a leader among nations. and as an unrivaled financial and military power. Bush inserted the US into an 1100 year old stalemate of muslims fighting among themselves...the description I posted help illustrate what a horror show already existed between different Arab and Persian muslim sects. They neutralized each other, and now our leadership inserted us into the "fray". Pathetic and tragic.
