FRANKNOTE

Bush wants us to believe that Iraq is better off without Saddam Hussein. The question is: who would rather live in a state of chaos, where one could be killed or kidnapped at any time? Not many. As bad as Saddam's Iraq was, it had a secure and functional infrastructure -- one that took decades to build. It's quite amazing that it only took a few months for the United States military to undo all that history. Make no mistake, this is President Bush's war, and no matter how hard he may try, he cannot wash all that blood from his hands.
