The invasion of Iraq proved itself a disaster. I wasn't happy about it when it first happened, and I'm still unhappy about it, very stupid maneuver. Not smart, not by a long shot. Anyone with half a conscious will agree that Saddam Hussein was a bad man; nevertheless, the situation over there has deteriorated dramatically ever since the west invaded. I could never see the reasoning behind trying to connect Iraq with the Taliban and terrorism. It doesn't compute. G. W. Bush was foolish and ego-bound to initiate this war in Iraq, and Great Britain's leadership was foolish to support it.
