Actually, things really would be better if we hadn't overthrown Saddam.
"I think the Iraqi people would be unique in history if they didn't welcome the overthrow of this dictatorial regime," Bolton bloviated in a breathtakingly embarrassing 2002 interview. "And Iraqi opposition leaders of a variety of positions and views are discussing now what will happen after Saddam Hussein. I expect that the American role actually will be fairly minimal. I think we'll have an important security role. I think concluding the destruction of the weapons of mass destruction themselves will be important."
Wonder if the families of those dead and injured American soldiers think their role was "fairly minimal."
I tell you what, John: you go and find those weapons of mass distraction and we'll let you be national security advisor.
