Iraq was under heavy, heavy sanctions. Saddam Hussein allowed thes Sanctions in Iraq to kill up to 1 million before we arrived.

After the invasion and sanctions were lifted the numbers are debateable but the responsible numbers put the deaths in IRaq since the invasion at 138,000 and counting.

Many lives were spared, the people are free to choose their own way of life if they choose.

No the war was not a mistake. Our response to it might be.

The war was not a blunder? Does Iraq pose more of a threat to us now or then? Is al-Quida in Iraq now or then?

President Carter has, on too many occassions, popped off about current politics. Ex-Presidents, including Nixon even, are or were afforded peace and respect in their waning years. In return, America only asks that they stay out of the camera eye and DEFINITELY do not run amok with criticisms of the current administration.

If President Carter feels SO Strongly that he can’t, in good conscience, sit quietly, he can take the Madison option and re-enter politics on the representative level.

Then again, if you thought 1980 was ugly… ouch.

The war was not a blunder. The American response to the war might turn it into the biggest blunder ever.

While Carters record may be criticised, I believe that the war in Iraq might have been the United States biggest blunder ever.
