Hah! We're evil if we support brutal dictators and stupid if we take them out. Nice.
I'm proud of the purple fingers. Regardless of what happened, no one can take that experience away from them - they felt like Americans for a day
The war was for oil. But wait! We walked away, not because it was 'unwinnable' (we won it), but because they asked us to. Big bad imperial US.
I suspect the left hates Iraq because they hate Bush, and don't want him to get just credit for reshaping the entire Middle East.
