I don't Bush understood history and the part of the world that he was getting involved with when he invaded Iraq.
Fact: Only legal reason to invade Iraq was if Saddam had weapons of mass destruction or missles capable of flying beyong 500 miles UN resolution 1441.
Fact: Saddam & Iraq at no time prior to the invasion had anything to do with 9-11 or Al Qaida
Fact: Saddam was once a friend of the US, who gave Iraq biological weapons in the 80's? CIA (source 60 minutes)
Fact: Iraq was not a theocracy before this war and Christians were free to practice their religion. The majority of people in Iraq are Shia Muslims, Shia is a denomination of Islam like being a Baptist is a denomination of Christianity. Saddam was a Sunni (like Catholic, original faith). The majority of Muslims in Iran are Shia Muslims, the Shia's in Iraq are talking with the Shia's in Iran. Bush may have just created an Iran/Iraq alliance.
Fact: Cost of War in Iraq $ 127, 093, 620, 000 as of this post

Fact: Bush has said he believes he was chosen by God to be President and that he has a mandate by God to change the Middle East. Thanks for electing a born again Christian.
