Is the point here that the "liberation" of Iraq was a "good" thing because it scared Gaddafi into abandoning his weapons program? What would the tens of thousands of dead Iraqi civilians say to that? What would the families of hundreds of dead American soldiers say to that? Bush is very frightening. And his war is very definitely not a good thing. Indeed, the terrorists Bush is spawning will make Gaddafi look like a good thing.
