 Since Worthless has made the Government BIGGER and more INTRUSIVE 
 than ever, he obviosly can't  support the above.

 "We should not march into Baghdad. To occupy Iraq would 
 instantly shatter our coalition, turning the whole Arab 
 world against us and make a broken tyrant into a latter- 
 day Arab hero. Assigning young soldiers to a fruitless 
 hunt for a securely entrenched dictator and condemning 
 them to fight in what would be an unwinable urban guerilla 
 war, it could only plunge that part of the world into ever 
 greater instability." 
 -George H. W. Bush in his 1998 book  "A World Transformed",
