That is simply a lie. If the US had not come to Iraq they would still be in Saddams dictatorship, not a free democracy. When asked if removing saddam was worth all the hardship most Iraqis say yes. “Universally almost all Iraqis want the US to leave and wish that we had never came in the first place.’

Why on earth should I believe YOU when you and yours have been so vicious, illegal and demonstrably wrong about pretty much everything for the last seven years?

Universally almost all Iraqis want the US to leave and wish that we had never came in the first place. There is no real democracy in Iraq right now and there won't be for any foreseeable future. The US has never understood Iraq and even after 5 years we still can't see that we are doing more harm than good there. The fact that the media and this administration can still not be honest with us after 5 years and 4,000 deaths is disgusting. If you want to remain delusional you can keep trying to convince yourself that one day democracy will rule in the middle east but in your heart you know the truth. Besides don't forget what this war was supposedly originally all about, WMDs. Tell me how many of you really cared about Iraqi freedom in 2003. Do not believe this.

That can engender only an Islamic version of "freedom"--ie the "freedom" to submit to the supreme authority of Allah--not the Western kind.

Tribal Muslims never miss an opportunity to shoot themselves in the foot, nor do they miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity to accomplish something good.
