<<Whatever the motives, the US has now staked out a position where a stable and legitimate government for the Iraqi people, is a foreign policy success for the US. So therefore, the US does care for the plight of the Iraqi people.

France and Russia, on the other hand, worked to keep them enslaved under Saddam.>>

Bulls***!! If we were so concerned about the plight of the Iraqi people why didn't we do something in the eighties when we knew he was gassing his own people?!?!?! What about in '91 in Basra and in the mountains of the north when our helicopter gunships sat back and watched thousands of Kurds and Shiites being slaughtered by Saddam's thugs?!?!? You have incredible tunnel vision when it comes to the action of this administration!
