I would have made, and have made, the argument that if we wanted to truly save lives and stop the brutality, Africa was the place to be. How many died in Africa while we floundered in Iraq? Millions?

If you want to make a banker/criminal comparison, I would go Madoff and all of the above.

"How many died in Africa while we floundered in Iraq? Millions?"

Democrats stopped genocide in Bosnia without losing a single American life.

Republicans are trying to stop, uh, something or other in Iraq at 4,000+ lives and counting.

I forget the numbers, 100k civilians dead, 40k our our boys wounded. A couple hundred billion in damages, plus the pressure it put on the world oil market. That is a story in itself.

All money and lives well wasted, eh?
