As my personal politics have evolved over the years, I started at "right battle, wrong time" and arrived at "wrong battle." What I cannot understand is how the words of one man seemed to carry so much weight? This happens to all of us, we hear what we want to hear and we look no further. For most of us, the consequence is ignorance. In this case, the consequences were lives and treasure lost.

Seeing the uprisings around that region now, one must ask: had the battle of Iraq not occurred, would the Iraqis now be in the streets? Undoubtedly. Would it be like Egypt? Like Iran? Would they trade the past 8 years away for 8 more years of Saddam and a homegrown revolution now?
