What do the Iraqis think of the war?

[Wesley's son]

Many people in m many nations believe they have an understanding of how to properly deal with Sadaam and his affiliates. One group says do this, another says do the opposite. But how many have considered the desires of the Iraqi people themselves. Admist all the global "outrage" at the US for this fight, many Iraqis seem to be very greatful for our efforts and anticipate their liberation.

Isn't freeing a people in bondage worth the cost?

Did I anger everyone with my statement?

Yes.

In fact I think that's the best reason for such an action. Unfortunately it is the one argument that Bush did not push as much. I think more people would get behind the war effort if that argument was made loud and clear.

But, to be consistent, we would have to go liberate Sudan, Tibet, and a host of other countries. Which would be great, but the political and military realities are such that it is not going to happen.

I think that that is the reason that W. has not capitalized on the Human Rights angle.

IMHO.

Yes, unfortuneantly we can't free the entire world. But at least we can do it for one country.
...and yes its not about freeing people, its about national security.

From what I've read the Iraqi's seem to like it when U.S. Troops come into town. Kinda funny, it seems to be the only country that's not protesting the war.

Especially the one country that can help Haliburton make a few bucks right?

That argument has been defeated. Done in. Finished. A pale shadow of a whine for those who can't find anything truly nasty to say about our motivations. Keep using it and you risk complete and utter irrelevancy, as well as a place on the "ignore" list.
