What? That's not what the Bush administration has said. They said it's benefited the world in a great way.
>>Saddam can no longer rattle his sabers and claim he's gonna blow everyone up. He can no longer gas or kill villages because they're full of children of a racial background he doesn't like. They're on the path to democracy. People bitch that the country is in a state of chaos, but the reality is, it was like that before we ever got there. More and more cities are becoming stable.
But the new regime is extremely weak. Sadam's party could handle itself fine and throw middle fingers at Iran without too much worry. As soon as the U.S. leaves Iraq, that country's government will most likely be overthrown, which is the whole reason why we have to stay otherwise all the effort went into Iraq in the first place would be wasted.
>>Also, I don't know if it was intentional or just a side effect, but Al Queda got lured to Iraq, which was unfamiliar territory for them as well, and roughly 80% of their forces and leaders have been completely wiped out. Unless Bush captures and kills Oba- Oh, I mean Osama in the next few months, no one's going to care though
That's not what Bush said. He said the terrorists were in Iraq, which is why we invaded in the first place. The administration has never admitted that its activities in Iraq attracted al qaeda members to Iraq, but that they were already there in the first place.
Also, Afghanistan keeps getting worse while Iraq improves.
