If Iraq had attempted to invade and occupy the United States, I would be howling about their atrocities. But they didn't, we invaded and occupied them.

<<But more importantly there are the people who, in the buildup to the war and afterwards, demonized the Iraqis and convinced a good part of the American public and our soldiers that the Iraqis were terrorists and responsible for the attacks of 9/11.>> Well, now we know about your secret love for Saddam's Baathist party, since you perceive that we "demonized" his government and the people who have fought to defend it... What Redfish was saying was a fact. The Bush Administration has been demonizing peoples from many countries, including Iraq. The country that he hasn't demonized (or kept out of his "evil-doer" designation, is the country that was most complicit in 9-11 but has strong business ties with the Bush family). To call a country "evil doers" and "terrorists" when they've done no evil or terror to us is demonizing. It seems that anyone who criticizes the Bush Administration (arguably the most corrupt administration since Nixon's) is a "Saddam-lover". You would have been the guy yelling "Communist!" in the '50's. In reading your posts, is there ANYTHING that you're beloved administration has done wrong? (Your president couldn't think of a single mistake...can you?)
