The evil they had before was better than the evil they have now. No one in the US cared about the people of Iraq before; Bush certainly did not care, he just needed to say he did so he would look good. He certainly does not care about the people of New Orleans, and it shows, and it seems like now the Iraqi people are more important to him than the people of the US.
Something is all screwed up in somebody's thinking.

Not sure where you get your information from, but the people of Iraq certainly are not decrying that they have been delivered from evil. And from the looks of things, the number of people being killed on a daily basis, close to a civil war, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of killed Iraqi civilians, etc., do you honestly think that they have been delivered from anything or just delivered to hell? Even the newest report on the war states that the Pentagon misled and warped the information about Saddam Hussein to promote a war.
Please do not think that the war was over anything noble as delivering anyone from evil, or WMD, or getting rid of Saddam Hussein, etc. Because if it is the mandate of the US government to get rid of evil dictators or help people who are being abused, they certainly have failed in Africa among other places on the planet. The only thing that has been accomplished is to show the world that the US is a bully. So please do not believe what CNN or FOX or whatever news you are watching that is spreading the propaganda that the world or the Iraqi people are jumping for joy and praising that the US has delivered them.

I did, and so did lots of others, which is why American blood and treasure was spent to get rid of Saddam Hussein - do you remember the celebratory gunfire when the word got around that Saddam was captured? Saddam murdered an estimated 300,000 people - his OWN people. This does not include the Iranians that were killed in the Iran/Iraq war, where the U.S. supported Iraq, ironically. As to anybody saying we have delivered them from evil, clearly that is not true as there is still plenty of evil there - but the hate between the Shia and the Sunni has existed for centuries, and the U.S. didn't even exist when that started. In fact, nobody in Europe knew that North America existed (apparently) at the time!

I've cared about the people of Iraq since 1989. This war is just the continuation.

I certainly cared about them and I cared about the people in Afghanistan. I suspect the folks who didn't care are either too young to remember what has gone on over there before the war, or they simply have no interest in what goes on outside of their own back yard.

That is a good question. I greatly doubt our leadership ever cared for the average Iraqi citizen. They would rather impose " democracy " on them insead of letting them chart their own course.
