even those who opposed the invasion of iraq, agree that saddam being gone is a good thing.
Edward - actually, not so. Living in DC, one hears things. One thing I've heard from several in the diplomatic corps, Americans with long experience in the Middle East, is that Saddam was actually better than what we've got going now. Some made this case two years ago. They may be wrong. But it's not true that everyone agrees that we've got a better-case-scenario now than the one with Saddam in power.
