"..lined with steady progress toward democratic values"

Think you have to expand your definition of democracy. It wont be a copy of ours. It has more to do with freedom and especially economic freedom. For instance you can wind up with chinas as easily as mini-europe/usa.

"America's liberal MSM efforts to promote the terrorists by calling the "insurgents". They are butchering killers "

There are at least two distinct groups we are fighting against in iraq--nationalists of either the baath or just sunni or just shiaa stripe and terrorists. It isnt fair to overlook the fact that terrorists are butchering killers but it is equally wrong to label every iraq insurgent a terrorist. Iraqis for the most part want us to stay and want us to go and feel this both at the same time. If we can set a timetable, it might just split the nationalists from the terrorists and better yet the terrorists are foreigners who would be easy to kill in a very tribal society.
