Every policy decision has negative and positive consequences. The decision that is chosen should beone where the positives outweigh the negatives.
Do you think the Bush administratio likes the fact that the Iraqi constitution is quasi-theocratic?
So what do we do, override the democratically elected assebly? Hand them a constitution?
Do you think Iraq would be better of with Saddam in power? If you think Iraq would be better off with Saddam in power then say it.
Unless you have some idea of what policy should be implemented that will make the overall situation better, what is the point of pointing out the negative aspects, as if we were not already aware of it.

Spot on, old boy. I think that, in recognition of their stupendous errors in judgment (welcome with flowers, paid for by oil revenue, sunnis and shiites and kurds singing kumbaya, mission accomplished, doing it for democracy, etc.) Bush and Cheney should resign, and that Speaker Hastert should get a shot at figuring out what to do.
