> I seem to be leaning toward Al Gore. I know it's unfair to hold George W responsible for someone else, but wasn't it his father who had the Gulf War won and then pulled out without finishing the job?

On the other hand, if Dukakis had been in charge, I can't even imagine how thoroughly bungled it would have been from the beginning.

That did tick me off about Bush, though. Saddam was guilty of so many crimes against our people and worse crimes against his own. It was our *responsibility* to go as far as we needed to to get him out of power and tried for war crimes.

He's also a moron. I just love his justification for his actions. He was ticked off at Israel, so he invaded Kuwait. That's arguably even more unsavory than his real reason for invading Kuwait (the acquisition of oil and sea ports). Israel should be praised for the way they handled themselves in that war -- deferring to the allied forces in spite of the fact that they were being fired on all the time for no good reason.
