Why do Muslim moderates excuse Muslim extremists for killing innocent people and taking the law into their own hands?

They aren't. The silence on Muslim on Muslim atrocities is high considering the voice given to non-Muslim on Muslim atrocities, but that lower level of volume is not accurately described as approval or an excuse. Which Muslim moderates are "excusing" the various car bombings that go on every week in Iraq? Please list them....

Why do Liberals fail to recognize the gross violation of human rights in Iraq and criticize our support?

I think they see US as having not achieved the goal of respect for human rights in Iraq after 5 years of "support", and that five years is enough time to have tried. The outlook for achieving respect for human rights appears dim, so we should set set a deadline, and leave.

If US support for human rights in Iraq was demonstrating progress, which seems a reasonable expectation after FIVE YEARS, you'd see less criticism of our presence there.

The only people that want us out of this war are the Iraqi terrorists and the Democrats.

The majority of Americans want the US to leave Iraq, and think the Bush administration is doing a poor job on Iraq. If the administration were doing a good job in Iraq (over the past 5 years), the numbers would be more supportive. It's not logical to support a failing program indefinitely.
