Hawkmoon, do you know what I mean by saying you might be right idealogicly but wrong because of the reality of the outcome? Everytime I post something you go off in another direction like that will make sense. I didn't say that Epytians have an unfavorable opinion of us - Zogby did! But that doesn't change anything.

Reality is this; even though you might not to hear it - because of the way the outcome of the war turned out, those who said we shouldn't do this alone were right. Those that said we needed more troops were right. Those who said it would cost a heck of a lot more than we were led to believe were right. And because of the mess we are increasingly hated around the world.

We obviously disagree. Too bad those such as yourself who think this is a wise adventure couldn't be forced to pay for it. I'm mean and selfish - I don't want to fix Iraq, I would rather invest in making America better. And I don't want to send my kids to Iraq - I would rather send them to Afghanistan along with the full force of our military which we cannot do because we are babysitting Iraq!!
