Yes, I agree mistakes have been made and our history in the region is a large part of the problem we are forced to try to fix today. However, you and other keep pointing to the large number of Iraqi dead as if it was the U.S. who caused those deaths and that is false. The reality is that Muslim insurgents are causing 90%+ of Iraqi casualties today through their callous disregard of civilian life. They are murdering their own people to get the U.S. to prolong their occupation in the hopes that the Iraqi Democratic experiment will fail. They hate Democracy. Zarqawi himself came out and said that Democracy is their enemy. Luckily, the majority of Muslims think that is an extremist view. But this is clearly a case of tyranny over the majority by the minority. When faced with a problem like that, only muscular intervention such as is occurring with our U.S. military can make a difference. I'm glad our government has the willpower to do it, though I lament the many mistakes they've made along the way. It could have been an easier path had we skilled diplomats in the White House.
