About 50% of the American public didn't buy that WMD argument as put

See above. For the most part, the Iraq war has split this country almost
straight down the middle and the recent elections are proof that the
current administration and Republical party in general will continue to
pay a heavy price for the war as public opinion against the war
continues to be an ever-increasing majority as it drags on.

the things you buy. The Chinese are clever, you don't survive Mao if 
you're that dumb.

What well and truly fucked up the Iraq situation was our government's
lack of understanding that you simply cannot "hand democracy" to a
nation of deeply divided religious primatives bent on nothing more than
killing each other.
