Why didn't he eliminate Saudi-arabia, Syria and Iran, these 3 countries, are the biggest threat to US
Doesn't Bush know that Syria and Iran are working together and
S-A is supporting them economical.
I do believe that S-A have given "some" financial aids to Irans nuklear-program.

I can understand your confusion. And I appreciate that. See, in the case of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia its because the freedom loving people there, except for the beheaders and the killers who crash planes into buildings on 9/11, are America's allies. They pump oil. They keep the oil pumping. |

| The United States did not 'take' anything. It simply removed the dictatorship in Iraq. Had the United States 'taken' Iraq, it would become a U.S. posession/territory like Guam or Puerto Rico and fly the U.S. Flag as its standard. |

The US historically takes a number of years to take formal possession of territory it has 'taken'. The facts speak for themselves - the US is the major power determining what goes on in Iraq. The US may not 'own' it, but it controls it, which is, in effect, the same thing. |

How exactly does the US control anything in Iraq? Again and again we hear about America impotently 'pressuring' Iraqi politicians to no effect. |

If you don't think the US has the power to remove those politicians in an instant, you are living in a dreamworld. Fortunately, the US has a commitment to democracy. The fact that the US 'pressures' the Iraqi government to no effect is only evidence that the US commitment to democracy is shaky. It is not evidence that the US is powerless in Iraq. Without the US presence, Iraq would be in a state of civil war. |

You may not agree with me, but I stil say that US haven't made any peaceplan after winning the war.
e.g
One of Bush's securitycouncil said to Bush
- If we overthrow Saddam this and this could happen and so on
