Michael, clearly, perhaps, you've read too much to grasp the fact that what I've said here is not affected by the information in your reply(much of which is highly debatable rather than "basic fact," such as Saddam ordering the destruction of his own WMD programs, when in fact others have concluded Saddam was geared-up to keep it alive, all along). Re: "Al Qaeda was not a factor in Iraq until we invaded it." This again, has no bearing on my comment which I believe stands well, and it is almost certainly incorrect given what we have learned and see daily. Re: "Yes, we started the war. Aid workers were able to help Iraqi people before the war, but not effectively afterwards. That was our doing." You can repeat this biased notion over and over without ever mentioning the mass graves a new democracy in Iraq won't likely expand upon, or the massive diversion of oil for food money and the implications thereof. Amazing tunnel vision you have, IMO. RE: "They may be attacking aid workers, but they were not active in Iraq until we destroyed Iraq's ability to police itself." This is just laughable, IMO, especially when combined with the oil for food reality and the mass graves created when Iraq "policed itself." They "may" be attacking aid workers? LOL. As I said, I just attribute acts to the doers, and appropriate responses to the responders. Re: "Our fault, no one elses." Right, LOL, not the fault of the doers then. LOL. Frankly, if you've looked at the overall picture you know that we are rebuilding Iraq, and anecdotally speaking(as you've been doing here) there are areas in Iraq which have various infrastructure up and running now, but did not prior to the war. Yes, you are considered biased in this corner. Dan B.
