I criticize Bush because he has so incompetently prosecuted the War in Iraq and that is a huge issue for the country. To state that "The Bush Administration completely failed to understand how non-linear, non-western and tribal the Iraqi culture is. Its no wonder trying to impose western, neo-con type ideals on the Iraqi's have failed. The assumptions made about the takeover of Iraq, to begin with, were way off base." Is a valid comment and I think hits at the heart of the failure in Iraq. If you want to join the proud tradition of the likes of Saddam and ban free expression that disagree with the government on your thread - go ahead - I'll find a way to carry on in my life. Thankfully the country seems to be turning away from that sort of "neo-con" thinking. This thread is pretty dead lately anyway - it seems anyone who doesn't cheer lead Bush as he marches our soldiers off a cliff has been banned already - hardly the stuff of a "spirited debate".
