I think Lazerus hit the nail on the head.

beetle just had to get a shot in, can't just say something decent without taking some kind of shot at the US.

Because it has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion.

Um, no, I wrongly responded to Beetle. I should have ignored it.

I don't expect you to think about that, though. You obviously never do.

marlette hit it right on the head. it is nation building and that was the plan all along.

thats what bothers me most.

We apparently have a different interpretation of the facts.

Personally, I think you are overly acceptive of conspiracy insinuations and hold the worst possible theories to be true, regardless of what other evidence or theories are presented. A natural, and healthy, distrust of government can cause this. Somewhere between blind faith and fanatic disbelief is where the truth is. I know I'll never know the absolute truth, but being in that area between those two puts me close to it.

IMO of course.

"free" elections, with over 100k foregin troops inside country?

why U.S troops lock several thausends of iraqies just before election? for safety reason? ;-)

last 57 years voting like that in countries under russian shoes was claimed as not free, why somone should think voting under american protection is diferent? beucose US let them be democratic? what is a diference between comunist providing elections in eastern europe and U.S providing elections in Iraq?

So far things seem to be going well. In the end it will be up to the Iraqs to make it work. We, and our allies, can only give them the chance at Self-Government.

And 'yes', I am proud the United States was a part of it.
