es yes, more leftwing pessimism. You guys have the Democratic playbook memorized. Unfortunately for you, the Iraqis are full of optimism. They braved death to vote and they now wave their purple fingers in the air as their badge of courage for what they are fighting for. Iraq has taken a huge step towards freedom and you may not think the cost was worth it, but millions of Iraqis will be thanking the U.S. for the rest of their lives. The Sunnis may be cursing us for the rest of their lives, but you know, I could care less. Any group of people that would rather murder their countrymen than allow them freedom and democracy won't get me to shed one tear for them. Yeah, yeah, yeah.......blather on. We've heard it all before. Just three months ago, you griped about Bush's poor execution of the war. Now you're expecting roses to grow on all those Iraqi graves and the Iraqis to spit cologne. Tell me some major good that resulted from something poorly executed as in the Iraqi war. I am curious to hear the precedent that allows you such unbridled optimism.
