25 years from now, when Iraq is freely democratic and a flourishing nation, the history will judge these Americans who died for the cause as true heroes. The Iraqi people will truely appreciate their sacrifices for their country. The Americans and Mr. Bush will be seen as a liberators of 50 million people from oppression in the Muslim world.

Just like millions of Eastern Europeans view the U.S. now. Had Mr. Regan given into the demands of your side those millions would still be behind the Iron Curtain.

Unfortunately your friends, the French and the Germans, have forgotten those sacrifices made by the Americans.

As the first generation immigrant to this country, I have grown to appreciate the values and opportunities the freedoms in this country has provided me over the last 30 years. It is disheartening to see that many on this and other boards take pleasure in bashing all the good this country is doing and all the sacrifices its citizens are making for the entire world.

You forget a little known fact - that in the early 20th century there were fewer than 10 democratic nations in the world. At the end of the century there were over 120 - The U.S. has had more to do with this tranformation than any other nation in the world.

You guys are pathetic. You do not appreciate your own country. Sad.
