I believe that invading Iraq on total lack of reliable and/or forged premises was a huge mistake, and has caused this world to be more prone to terror than ever.
This war has killed more people than Saddam could ever have. More than 1000 US soldiers have lost their lives, and more will, the UK 80 + some. And predictions are that the violence will continue to escelate and turn into a civil war. Only time will tell, but right now the result of GWB's war is not more than an endless misery for too many people.
Don't get me wrong, I have been a strong defender of the US politics for a long time. I even spent several years in the US Air Force working as a flight instructor and been to several US bases flying fighters and helicopters.
We as Norwegians are also very thankful for the help after and of course during the WWII. But that doesn't take away the fact that IMO right now there is a presidential inauguration for a man that holds a position too big for his Texan boots.
