*LOL!* Perhaps you should have listened to the UN in the first place.
perhaps the UN should have acted....
The US and coalition did act, and aside from some rediculous prisoner abuse allegations, the tragedy of dead servicemen and Iraqui civilians, and the final conclusive proof of the presence of WMD's, we for the first time see the possibility of a free Iraq. An Iraq that is free from tyranny, free from terror, and free from oppression. You can mock the US led efforts all you like, but it still does not change the precept that the actions in Iraq are leading to a safer world. Why else would the terrorists fight so hard to stop us?? Because they are beginning to see the end, and like any cornered animal, they are fighting with all they have left... unfortunately what thye have left is suicide bombers, random roadside bombs, and oppressive militias. There will come an end to these terrorists in Iraq, and then, Iraq can move on, and join the ranks of the free world.
It's a pity that so many look past the noble acts of most of the servicemen and women in action over there. They are the ones who are making a difference, and they are the ones whom the Iraqi's can thanks when they have a free country.
Bush has provided 5 steps to a free Iraq:
Handing over authority to a sovereign Iraqi government.
Establishing security.
Continuing to rebuild Iraq's infrastructure.
Encouraging more international support.
Moving toward a national election in Iraq that "will bring forward new leaders empowered by the Iraqi people."
How is that not a clear strategy? I see it, but the naysayers do not, so unfortunately we are at the same impasse. The only problem is, a free Iraq is happening no matter how badly you naysayers do not want that.... (which is sad, because the anti-american's overzealousness to see us fail is hurting the ones they should be worried about)
