I think you are missing my point. My point was that hailing Bush as the bringer of safety overlooks the fact that he made the lives of the entire population of Iraq extremely unsafe. I am glad no Americans have been harmed post-9/11 (who wouldn't be?) but I still think the Iraq decision should effect Bush's "safety record" if you want to call it that.

So you think Iraq was safer when Saddam ruled with in an iron fist? He practiced genocide against his own people and his atrocities and corruption are too numerous to count. The big difference is that the Iraqi people can now forge their own destiny. They can vote. They have freedoms they didn't have under saddam. The people making Iraq less safe is not the United States. It's the terrorists attacking, targeting and killing innocent civilians.
I hope you can see the difference.
