well. see. bush jr and bush sr are politically very different. bush sr had sound realist-theory-based foreign policy. when it was better to leave a 'stable' government that was at odds with our more feared enemies in the area, he did so. that's why bush sr didn't take saddam out. because saddam's secular government would not ally with the muslim governments of iran and syria and so forth. by preventing a unified middle east, we ensured some hope for the situation. now, thanks to bushy jr, there could be a unified islamic run middle east.
it has nothing to do with 'what daddy started'. it's fine to disagree with the war. it's not okay to be uninformed in that idea.
