Uh...Yeah..a budget surplus and a national deficit is talking about 2 completely different things for one. The budget surplus was courtesy of Clinton's overtaxing, and was used for tax cuts that helped end the recession that began in Q4-2000 more quickly than it otherwise would have. The National DEBT (this is not the budget) is not higher per capita based on GDP. It was 6 trillion before this century even began....and it is largely comprised of money we owe each other and money not paid back to us by others.

About the same or slightly lower than in the late 70's (when adjusted for inflation...which is important John)

Bungled after the overthrow...yes...zero business being in is another story. Saddam not cannot re-constitute a WMD program or fund terriost groups like Hamas or Hezbollah. He is no longer a concern...and he was a concern. Khadafi was scared straight after the invasion as well. We have 38,000 troops in South Korea 50+ years later...perhps there is good reason to establish permanent bases in Iraq too. We've made a significant dent in Al Qaeda, and haven't been attacked again....which is the most important thing.

He's not articulate, but I seriously doubt he's dumb. I bet he'd make you look pretty foolish in a debate.
