We Were Right to Invade Iraq, says Guardian

Say it ain't so, but Oliver Kamm of the Guardian is making the point. He does point out the obvious - that the millions of refugees disaster scenario never occurred. Nor did George Galloway's prediction that Saddam would be the last man standing in the bunker. He also indicates that WMDs weren't found. All in all though, he concludes his reasoning that hey - eventually we would have had to confront Saddam. Everyone knows it, and better to do it now, at a time of our choosing, than later.

The jury's out as to where Iraq will end up in 10, 20, or 50 years. Eisenhower said the same thing about Germany - that the truth would be found in 50 years time, and if Germany were a thriving democracy in that time, then we will have known that we've succeeded. (paraphrased)

The press is always going to write about the last greatest and most spectacular event, and guess what, it's usually going to be negative. So while the press will do their daily critiques, what is really needed is a long term view - much like the ones taken with Germany and Japan.
