So, perhaps we don't need/can't afford to have a "crusader" run the country

anymore into the ground that he already has.

Hmm,
   As you seem to think the US is a Crusader and that we leave bankrupt 
countries, could you explain our record of rebuilding those we have defeated? 
Japan 
and Germany leap to mind, and most recently Afghanistan is making great 
strides following our actions there. I just don't see us, or this conflict 
that 
way. If you can show me that we, or Bush if you prefer are forcing the Iraqi 
people into Christianity or killing them if they don't comply, then I will 
agree 
with you.
