The short-sighted politics of George Bush and his loyal supporters were on display today with the hanging of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. Without the Baath party's regional stability Iran is growing unchecked and Iraq's porous borders are allowing in hordes of fanatical Muslim terrorists to set up new Afghan-style training camps. But this is not news. This is the continuing evolution of a disastrous foreign policy.
So while our nation's vengeance is satisfied by Saddam swinging in the gallows, I hope the conservatives are content because in Saddam's place are now thousands of terrorists waiting to welcome Iran's missiles into their arsenal. So cheer Saddam's death, but remember that 3,000 US soldiers have died in Iraq, and Osama bin Laden still lives.
