You're right ruth - the wishes of the Iraqi people have never mattered to our foreign policy.

Catawump - blaming the UN for Bush's crime is about as craven as it gets.

You bet. There's not a single family in Iraq that has been spared by Bush's violence.

As others said, the minority Sunnis do, they ruled the country and could inflict whatever harm on others they desired. that's an awful lot to expect people to forgive, especially when their religion (the missing factor in the "exit policy") is not big on forgiveness. the problem is convincing them they can "share" power without resorting to teh age old method of violence, if it won't work in Iraq, it won't work in the Middle East, and if it won't work there how can you expect it to work anywhere in the world where the Middle east has influence? And most of the people are ready for peace, thats why it's so neccesary for foreigners to go into Iraq and keep the chaos alive. But peaceful people don't make the news, violence is what sells, and as the bit about people supposedly being burnt to death over Thanksgiving proved, the news agencies don't care if the stories of atrocities are real. I wish (as do most people) that we never invaded Iraq, but that is why the UN was created, we just didn't count on what a bunch of sellouts or cowards would be sent there to supposedly try and maintain teh peace. Had the UN done it's job, the weapons inspectors would have had unfettered access to all facilities when they arrived, not have to wait days or weeks outside the gates or stay under armed guard in their hotel rooms. And for that matter, not had a UN head who was taking money from Saddam the whole time. Now the whole issue of nuclear proliferation has become a bad joke that will only result in mushroom clouds drifting across the globe, preventing that was the goal, "WAS". And every human and other living thing on earth will suffer from this failure.

only the ones who were the killers and thugs.
Kurds consider our boys Martyrs for the cause of freedom, so what does that make you think? wait you don't want a truthful honest answer, let me pull out my "idiots guide to asinine answers to give an ignorant anti-war person, who asks something stupid" book
*Yes... Bush Bad... Hurah! for the "freedom fighters"! Yes i think it is good the "freedom fighter's" want to kill americans and stip the newly "stolen" freedom... i mean "slavery" from the Iraqi people.*
why does my mouth taste like bile and blood?
the REAL answer to that question is NO! the vast majority are grateful Saddam is dead and will be more grateful when they have control of their country.

The second part of your question would be true.
Many Americans don't like Bush but they wouldn't want to be invaded by a foreign power to help them over throw him.

Some do and some don't. We just have to use shock treatment on the ones who don't like Bush until they accept democracy as inevitable.

You are freaky... Give me freedom or give me death isn't something you subscribe to, is it?
However, in a recent MSNBC poll, most Iraqis were still grateful for Bush's invasion.

I seriously doubt it, though you never know, they have a lot of problems now, but at least they are different problems, but at least they can now have hope of something better. How would you like to be ruled by Saddam????

Some do
The 1.7 million that fled to Jordan for safety liked it better under Saddam.
But they are mostly small businessmen and politically similar to American Redpublicans.
