I think the thing that I find the most humor in is that before the war, Bush was saying how we needed to go find the WMDs, but ALSO how Iraq needed regime change, and Saddam needed to be out of power. Don't people remember when the US told Saddam that he had a couple of days to get the hell out of Iraq, else we were going to get rid of him? That fact alone tells me that it was about more than finding WMDs. Also, everyone will go on and on about how the war was about oil, and nothing more, yet they still demand to find WMDs. If you are dead-set in your beliefs that it was about oil, don't bother worrying about everything else. Sure, I think it would be great if some WMDs were found, because I personally am fairly certain they are somewhere, else Saddam would have probably brought out evidence of their destruction (and by "their," I mean any of them, even the ones we gave him years ago). But, we keep hearing about how if they aren't found, the US will be in lots of trouble. How long will people say that? In just over a year, Bush & Co. will (hopefully) be out of office, and that will make it a bit more difficult to hate him. Even still, though, while there is plenty of talk about finding WMDs, there isn't much talk anymore about what will happen if they don't exist.
Personally, I can only hope that the letter is real. Whether you were for or against the war, or Bush, or Tony Blair, or Michael Moore, can you honestly say that the citizens of Iraq led a better life under Saddam? He wasn't exactly Barney, telling you he loves you, you love him, and you're a happy family.
Of course, what do I know?
