Anyway, we will always disagree on this, so there it is.

Theja, you can only have a difference of opinion, not a difference of fact. You are wrong. The majority of terrorists in Iraq right now are
not Iraqi citizens. They are terrorists who have come to Iraq to fight the Americans, presumably because post-911 it is harder to get into America to fight Americans.
Saddam was not a devout Muslim. He was secular, enjoyed alcohol, and was not at all the champion of theologist Muslims. All he cared about was pertetualizing his own luxury and power. There are very few remaining members of his government who had any clout who are not already captured or killed. Ther terrorists remain at large, because there is one getting into the country for every one who kills himself (and others) or is captured or killed.
George W. Bush is not Jesus; he's not perfect. He even sometimes admits his mistakes.
