Nice try at backpeddling.

Saddam was taken out of power.

Now... how the heck do you propose to bring peace and stability to a region of the world that has NEVER known peace and stability? How do you propose to help people move toward civil rights, when they are oppressed by a religion (Islam) that is the antithesis of civil rights?

...and don't even TRY to say, "Just leave them alone," because that is the polar opposite of EVERYTHING liberals stand for.

The MISSION WAS ACCOMPLISHED. Saddam was removed from power. But there are a whole lot more missions still needing to be accomplished.
