If Bush were smart he would have engineered an Egypt-style internal popular revolt to bring about regime change instead of sacrificing 6,000 young, vital Americans and $590,000,000,000.00

He could have done it with the CIA, State Department, DoD PsyOps and a little ingenuity.

Probably would have cost less than $100,000,000.00 and thousands of American kids would still have a daddy to hug.

...just sayin'

Indeed. But let's not place all the blame on him, the headstrong neo-cons who believe that might makes right and the evangelical fundamentalists that believe all Muslims are Al Queda members share a responsibility for all this.

Turning Iraq into an Islamic state doesn't sound like a smart idea, does it?

They DID try that, with the Kurds. Then they left the Kurds to kick turds down the road (has a nice ring, don't it ) and Saddam went all genocidal on them after Gulf War 1.

This isn't about religious ideology.
