David, > It is kind of ridiculous to claim that nothing is "better"

Especially when one of his own in the mainstream media claims otherwise.

And he doesn't even agree with the original decision to go into Iraq in the first place.

"...but it is becoming clearer by the day that the war was the right thing to have done. "

How so? Beyond saddam is gone, what net net is better? Seems to me iran in stronger shape. Fact that the surge worked just proves the point that we got ourselves into a fine fix. Neither of us can predict the future but its incumbant on both of us to recognize what our eyes tell us is true. So prove to me how its better now than the day before the war beyond saddam is gone which i accept as valid.

>It is kind of ridiculous to claim that nothing is "better", but I understand, that without this kind of thought process, you cannot justify your liberalism.

Oh, I can justify my liberalism, and it has nothing to do with Iraq. Where the heck do you come up with these sorts of statements? They don't even make sense.

>There are still problems, but it is becoming clearer by the day that the war was the right thing to have done. There is no sense in explaining it to you because your liberal dogma will not allow you any clear thought on the subject.

There's that charming righteous indignation again.

Maybe to YOU, but 80% of America believes it was a mistake, a massive blunder, perhaps the biggest foreign policy blunder America has ever made.
