As far as we know, Osama is still alive now.
I personally believe the Iraq war was pushed under false and misleading information. They still haven't proven that Osama and the Taliban had any direct contact with Saddam and his former regime. They've now said Saddam didn't even have the weapons we were trying to defend against. We basically gave the country a deadline to produce evidence of something they didn't have then bombed them for it.
Now, I agree totally Saddam is an evil bastard that needed to be ousted. That goes without question. But, when you consider the lives lost in accompolishing that goal, it makes it all a tough pill to swallow.
I don't consider myself a Republican or a Democrat- I fell the label prevents you from keeping an open mind about all issues. My feeling is if we're going to spend ourselves into a deficit, we should be spending the money here instead of overseas. It's hard to support spending billions in other countries when we have kids going hungry, people homeless, schools underfunded, lack of healthcare, etc right here in the US. I'll vote for the man or woman that can give jobs back to Americans and protect OUR borders.
