   The invasion was probably the right thing to do and arguably should have   
   happened many years ago when Saddam first started acting up over UN weapon's   
   inspectors.  What is quite wrong though is the spin that was used and is   
   still being used to justify the war. I see no reason why Tony Bliar or   
   George Bush should be believed on any matter ever again.   
      
   And as for going into Iraq without a proper exit startegy that is just   
   monumental incompetence.
