You'll have to excuse my cynicism Tom, but I didn't see the Iraqi people lift a finger to fight for their own freedom. The choice to live free or die wasn't made by a one of them.

Don't get me wrong. And don't put words in my mouth. I am pleased to see Mr. Hussein go. But our stated purpose in getting rid of him had little to do with liberating the Iraqi people (something they should have done for themselves). It was because Mr. Bush alleged he was a threat to you and I - something that has been proven to be a ridiculous claim.

There is nothing "pretty good" about thousands of innocent civilians dying in a war none of them asked for.
