| I supported the war in ignorance. I do believe that Saddam's regime was corrupt and inhumane, but I also think he did what he had to do to remain in power. Whenever a Middle East government shows any weakness, it seems there is someone waiting to fill in the void. Bush and his clan either didn't care, or they didn't strategically plan this war correctly.
Saddam defied the inspections to save face, if he had simply allowed the inspections without any resistance, I'm convinced he would have been perceived as weak and would have been overthrown. There will be no "clean" resolve to the mess we have created.
