ParticipantOk, cut taxes in general and started a war.
It was needed, remember what were were going through on the initial term of his presidency. On the other hand, cutting RE long term capital gains was stupid and only help fuel the speculators. Nothing like being able to hid up to $250,000 by just owning a house for 1 year and selling for more later. Sounds like a flippers mating song…
Starting a war: I go both ways on this. I am more upset as how the war was executed as opposed to the war itself. Typical group grope management wise. If you look into what Saddam was doing to his own people: It had to change. The “shock and awe” stuff was absolutely stupid. The real “shock and awe” would be the US troops waving “hi” behind that Baghdad TV reporter as he was stating that US troops were loosing their will to fight and were no where near the capital.

ParticipantIf you look into what Saddam was doing to his own people: It had to change.
It may sound extremely cynical but … Saddam was the only person who knew how to maintain order in Iraq without extreme bloodshed.
Saddam’ regime was successful at managing the country at the cost of 15-20 thousand civilian deaths per year. Since we got there, an estimated 600 thousand people have died, either killed by Americans or their fellow Iraqis. No guarantee that the situation will stabilize if we withdraw.
Some countries just don’t seem to be ready for democracy.

Participant600k
That 600k figure of people who have died in Iraq has been proven to be extremely wrong.
http://news.nationaljournal.com/articles/databomb/index.htm
The more correct number is around 48k.
Do agree with you though that some countries aren’t ready for democracy.
