Iraqis Rejoice Over Fall of Baghdad

Just because you taught someone to steal doesn't mean you can't some day change your ways, join the police force and arrest that same person.

Too bad America's choice for the past 30 years has been to hire another thug to deal with the problems created by the last one.

You start out ok:

Then you proceed to incorrectly define both the problem and the solution. Close, but no cigar. There are no such things as 'terrorist governments'.

So you don't like my definition. What do you call Saddam Hussein's regime if not a "terrorist government".

I agree, it is a pretty stupid thing to do. But people, and governments can change. I'm optimistic.

Not to mention the Taliban. A government of the terrorists, by the terrorists, and for the terrorists. Others would include Lybia (they may be changing), Syria, and Iran.

I would define a "terrorist government" as one who sponsors terrorism as the primary (or just a major) part of their foreign policy.
