    I'm so sick of the Bush bashing, but here is my comment.

    We tried to help out Iraq from a horrible dictatorship. Even though we took him out the dictator, the Iraq's still want to act like a bunch of animals. They have the power to keep their country free from all of these suicide bombers, etc. Its just they act like they don't care. So, I say lets get out of there, let them kill each other and then nuke it.

    Iraq's wont stand up for themselves, and thats why the Iraq War sucks...

    Those damn Iraqis. It is all their fault. They don't want to understand that Bush is there to help them. To give them the fruits of freedom and democracy. I am sure also that Bush greatly respects the rule of law ..... but only when others obey it.
    Another thing they don't seem to comprehend is that they sit on OIL which is not theirs.

    There are a number of "horrible" dictatorships in the world. This particular dictator happened to be sitting on the second largest oil reserve in the world. You can and should make you own conclusions about that.

    The US is not the "world police" and should not strive to be in my opinion.

    We have enough problems domestically that need to be addressed.

    The only difference between two dictators in USA's eyes, that one horrible dictator was abusing it's citizen and helping terrorists, while another horrible dictator is an ally in USA's war on terror...

    You are going too far. You may be put on the "watch list" for asking so many questions.

    Here is the answer:

    Some people are always the good guys. Others will be good if they obey the "always good" people.

    I remember one member of the crazy gang opining on how good things were in Iraq a couple o months ago (no prizes for guessing which one.)

    Well this is what it is like over there.

    I bet them Iraqis are so glad that the Americans came to save them and make their daily lives better. :rolleyes:

    Iraq had an elected leader and government. He may not have been a good leader, But he was elected. If war could be justified simply because people elect bad leaders america would have been smoke 5 years go.

    If Saddam was elected and america invaded and put in their own government, Who is really the dictators here? It's a shame that even after five years of lies and corruption you are still the same ignorant little sheep you were previously.

    Iraq was a soverign nation with an elected leader. I know it may go against what the news tells you but it's a fact. What the americans put in place was a dictatorship. The war was basically a military coup to take power from an elected leader.

    Yeah. He won 99% of the "popular vote." You don't think it may have been rigged, do you?
