We were also allies of stalin and bin laden at one time. It is easy to second guess after the fact.
I think these are dangerous times we live in. This whole iraq thing shouldnt be as big as a deal as its being made out to be. A brutal dictator would be removed, people liberated, and a large amount of oil is taken out of a madmans hands. The positives far outweight the negatives.
But there is so many people that have blind hatred to bush that they are making a bigger deal out of it. And countries like france and germany are just pissed because they would lose money, and they dont like the fact that new europe are our allies.
If a lot of people had their way, we would no longer be a super power. That is a bad thing because europe has show over time they aren't willing to keep their backyard clean on their own. It is in their best intrest to support the usa, so we are strong when they need us.
