Everyone needs to remember that it was/is not incompetence that has left Iraq, our country and our foriegn policy in the shape that it is in.
Conservatives applied ideological principals to Iraqs reconstruction efforts and in the formation of Iraqs constitution that they were sure would work. I would love it if someone smarter and more articulate than I would write a diary listing each ideological principal that applies to the Iraq debacle and how they failed miserably because they are fundamentally wrong. I suggest that the Iraq situation can be used to prove conservative economic and foriegn/domestic policies don't work.
