My dearest Laz - Iraqis are happy they are rid of Saddam and 2/3 of them feel it is worth the price THEY are paying. As in, inconvenience of checkpoints, Americans raiding their homes once in a while, etc.

The question was never that.

The question was whether invading Iraq is worth the price the US is paying (and will, in all likelihood, pay in new ways). That is the question you should be asking yourself - are you now safer, or did the invasion of Iraq make terrorists angrier & more able to recruit to their ranks? Is the fact that the US is now isolated make it easier or harder to fight against terrorism on a global scale? Was there no other use within America for the hundreds of billions of tax money to be spent on Iraqis? Was there no way to further your goals other than killing 6,000 civilian Iraqis (note that they weren't polled! :-)
