The propping up of dictators is a good way to get derailed later on. Like I said about Hussein ealier, I know its our mess, its unfortunate that it is our mess, but I'm glad that we are cleaning it up.

I really don't know how much they have to do policy wise, but they have held high level policy positions for a long time now. Reports on Bush are that he relies very heavily on his advisors. So things that we are doing in Uzbekistan and EG, I think they are almost entirely the product of Rumsfeld and Cheney.
I agree that Saddam is our mess to clean up. We have to fix the problems those who came before us created. I agree with the action, but not the execution and reasons stated for doing it. I also don't agree with the leaders we have trying to take the "high road" on Iraq but still being scum regarding other countries.
And that is why this stuff pisses me off so much because I want to see us STOP creating these problems. I don't want my kids having to go into Uzbekistan and depose Islam Karimov 20 some years from now because we had a president who made the same bad decisions as his father. I want to show people why Bush must not be elected again, for this exact reason.
And hopefully, through the message boards I go to I can sway a few more people away from Bush.
