The radicals are so pervasive in the Middle East that solid base from which to attack them was very important. Saddam's cup was full to overflowing and God directed his downfall, I would be very careful about condemning what God has bought to pass to remove Saddam and his murderous sons that had persecuted the Iraq people for decades. Bush may not have even known why Iraq was his focus. The bigger picture is the US has been at work taking out the leadership of radicals from our bases in Iraq, there is much more going on than meets the eye. Sudan's day is coming, God will not allow evil men to persist indefinitely. He raises up leaders and He brings down leaders His purpose to accomplish, and that includes Bush and the Republicans if necessary.

Oh, btw, why did Saddam have a jetliner being used for training, he was solidly involved and would have funded and helped in anyway possible to hurt the US. Paying for suicide bombers lives for attacking civilians in Israel, and generally promoting radicalism, we should not be so generous with him, he does not deserve to be let off the hook.
