Iraq is a democracy hoping to happen.


You have no clue.

It has HAPPENED. Yes, it is true -- Obama can still screw it up. But my point in making that post is that the post election bickering is no worse than we have right here in America. It is not different from Dems trying to steal elections.

The Iraqi civilian death toll last month was, I believe, 191 -- or thereabouts. Contrast that with the 5,000 that were dying each month before Saddam was removed. Yes, some Iraqis lost their lives in this process, but they have turned the corner and are certainly not seeing the loss of life they were before Saddam was taken out.

As time moves on, it is going to become very difficult to find any basis for criticizing Bush on the Iraq War.
