I think that most of our attitudes about the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people is completely misled by the press. When the Iraqi president was in the US, the press failed to ask him about the success of the new administration backed by the US. They only wanted to put Bush on the spot and make him look like an idiot. The press has done a fantatic job of destroying the image of the US once again with their spineless criticism of our leadership. If we can not be honest enough with ourselves to take pride in the leaders we elect, why bother with the elections in the first place? I really take exception to the whole criticism of the US strategy in Iraq as having failed. I think Bremer made the only accurate assessment, which is that we needed even more troops. Nonetheless, based upon the number of suicide bomber in Iraq that have killed Iraqi children and innocent crowds of people, the presence of terrorists wishing to do harm to the US is self evident.
