rainfox,
Don't know that I will or even can "tell you what you want to hear"; can only try to give you my perspective.
The U.S. Congress. You mean you haven't been following the attempts by the Dems to derail and denigrate Bush and our effort in Iraq at every turn? Despite being unwilling and/or unable to offer alternatives, the minority party still has a very strong voice in this country - unlike Iraq under Saddam where there was Saddam's way or the hiway (to a reserved spot in a mass grave).
In this country, doubts are allowed. Debate is allowed - as witness this forum. Redress is not only allowed, it is facilitated.
Saddam is still alive and on trial, last I heard. Furthermore, didn't you read about the elections in Iraq? They are busily writing a new constitution and electing a new government, choosing from among extensive and varied candidtates. What or who they will listen to is up to them.
BTW, these posts may sound like I'm very pro-Bush. I'm not. There are many aspects of the Bush administration that I abhor, particularly some social programs and especially the lack of fiscal discipline. But I do endorse the ME policy, thus far.

But who authorized the U.S. to start the war?
In other words,if Bush makes some mistakes who's gonna to do the same thing as the America's doing to Saddam now?

But without any useful proof people can only doubt about original intention of the entire war.
