3. No threat, no weapons, no nucular program
No programs for weapons, no direct threat to the U.S., no imminent danger of a mushroom cloud, no shining beacon of democracy in the Middle East (What, the U.S. doesn't shine brightly enough to be discerned there?), no democracy to speak of at all, no peace, no pluralistic society.

Nope, we spent hundreds of billions of dollars, wasted tens of thousands of lives, and squandered our national honor and prestige to begin to create a stable foundation. And as any builder will tell you, you can't tell much about what's going to go up just from a look at the foundation. One story or two? How many bedrooms? Bathrooms?

This "mission" is so unimportant that Bush and his overrich friends can't see fit to fight for it themselves. In fact, they're trying to vote themselves another tax cut.
