You go on about how the Iraqis love what we're doing. Tonite, I watched as the Iraqis were dancing, jubilant at the death of American soldiers. It reminded me so much of the Palestinians who become jubilant whenever an Israeli dies.

So, do you now impute that attitude to every Iraqi? An aircraft is shot down on the outskirts of Baghdad and 20 Saddam supporters show up to celebrate, and you think this represents the views of the Iraqi people? As I said, you're pretty shallow.

There is no question that the Iraqi people, at large, want us there. This is not a subject that there can even be an intelligent debate about, because it is a known, indisputable fact.

These comparisons with Vietnam and now Palestine are simply reflective of the ignorance of those making the comparisons. Our good fortune is that we have great people like Bush, Rice, Powell, Rumsfeld, and Wolfowitz around to run the show.

BTW, did you catch Wolfowitz's speech this week? Man, he shut those young liberals up nicely!
