The only thing we are forcing upon/placing in Iraq is FREEDOM, last I checked that wasn't such a bad thing.Yes, for a limited amount of time the US may be able to "steer" the Iraqi government in the direction that best fits our interests, but in the end, the Iraqi government will be elected by Iraqi's.

There is no such thing as an unbiased opinion, by virtue of human nature, any view any human can hold is biased in some way.The only unbiased look or view is from pictures and video.And even those can be be biased via being taken out of context.I recently have been watching a series of shows on The Discovery Times Channel on present Iraq.These shows are basically camera teams that have been wandering around Iraq since Sadam's removal.They have little commentary other than basic descriptions, and absolutely no opinions.They show the frequent gatherings by thousands of Iraqi people discussing their futures, And there is not a single american around.They show the smaller "city counsel" gatherings trying to restore power, water, etc and there isn't a single american around.They show the smoke shops where people sit and talk(able to express their opinions for once in their lives) and no americans around.They definately don't look "conquered".The only thing conquered in Iraq was tyranny.

If anything, for once in their lives, the Iraqi people have the strength and ability to help their own futures, their spirit is no longer broken by a murderous tyrannical regime.Honestly, its not really possible for us to force anything on the Iraqi people, where there are tens of millions of people with a new found spirit and power to make better lives for themselves and their families, there isn't a military on the face of this earth that could conquer that.

Bush made a decision and then made sure it was carried out.This is a very admirable quality in a president of the US, and not a quality that was common throughout history.This country was built by such action takers, not whining indecisive passive fucking pussy liberals.
