"Our soldiers are dying for their right to elect a Muslim theocracy."

The soldiers are on our side, and don't need you to protect them. FYI we rid Iraq of a brutal dictator that was repeatedly breaking the terms of his surrender in GW1. The purpose of this long overdue move is to stabalize the middle east and to give these folks a chance to prosper under their own rule. And to eliminate the threat of this avowed enemy of the United States giving other enemies of the United States tools to kill more Americans.

The dishonest spin from the haters that inject inflamatory statements with false assumptions (like you have done) do no good. Why not argue the merits of having a functioning democracy in the middle east in the heart of terrorist country? It is ok to argue that you don't think it will work (which I am pretty sure is doubting Kenny's position), but try not to make stuff up and then base your arguments on that.

My view is that the sacrafices our soldier make are tragic, and that a stable middle east will be worth the sacrafice in the long run. Your view seems to be that we are better off with Saddam in power.
