#2 The Dems finally get their "October Surprise" payback. That little untruth has stalked every presidential campaign since the '80 election. It's become such a fabric of the event that many Dems have convinced themselves it was real. And now, they get to have their own. Of course, it's as fake as the original story but no matter. We live in an era where the unreal is the truth

#3 Would the world have been better off if the US bombed and invaded Iran instead of Iraq back in 2003?

It certainly would have had Arab support and prevented assistance to Taliban rebels from the West. Saddam was in a box even if he was working on nuclear weapons he couldn't have been making the kind of progress the Iranians are likely to have made.

#4 rjschwartz -- No. The mistake was in not totally crushing Iraq, and occupying it. Give them local self-government after a few years, then gradually give them more and more as they develop the resources and education to assume them. In the meantime, the US has a large, unsinkable aircraft carrier in the middle of the Muddled East, where we could attack in any of four directions. After about 30 years of occupation, Iraq would be a stable, strong ally, just as Germany has become. During that time, we can build an honest judicial system, infrastructure, agriculture, industry, and political unity. Both Bush and Obama threw that away, and we're reaping the rewards now. However, it's not too late. . .

#5 I understand the mistake in pissing away victory in Iraq, my question is would it have been better to have gone after Iran instead.
