Poll question: POLL: Bush/Iraq = Hitler/Russia or Mussolini/Ethiopia?
How will history view the Bush invasion of Iraq?

Like Hitler's betrayal and invasion of a rough equal he was allied with briefly or like Mussolini invading the essentially defenseless Ethiopia, that looked more like pathetic bullying than any kind of military acheivement?

5. Not yet
It will be if he tries to go after Iran and starts WWIII, even then a better comparison would be the Sudentenland.

6. I am sure I meant
"he was removed from power by the people" and nothing violent. Yes, I am quite sure that's what I meant.

7. I'm rading a book about ancient history right now
and something that really struck me is that there were these constant wars and sometimes today, we don't have any clue to why the people were fighting, or even who won. We just know there was a war.

I'm sure things seemed important at the time, but looking back from now, I find that very few of these wars were worth fighting.

So many of them were over which nephew would inherit the throne of some long-dead kingship, and I think that thousands of people died for that. For what?
