I haven't seen anyone rooting for a bad outcome. I have seen people who are pretty sure there will be one, or that the one we have now is already fairly bad (I happen to think the number of Iraqis we have killed, and have caused to be killed by others, is a travesty in itself)- but I've seen no one cheering for Al Qaeda, or civil war. I think you are mistaken.

"Doesnt mean good guys become bad guys and bad guys like saddam, ayotollah, al jazeera are all of a sudden saints." Why should I or any other American care whether those people are good, bad or neither? I walk out my door and arrive at work in the darkness every morning and I can't say I've ever peered into the gloom and wondered whether saddam, ayotollah or al jazeera was waiting outside to mug me. I've never had any of them throw rocks at me or steal my stuff, they never cut me off in traffic and gave me the finger, they've never called me names ... wtf should I concern myself with them?
