..and the Iraqis should enjoy the moment to the fullest. I'm actually happy for them.
This is a time we must look and think: What did we really do there? It's easy to impair your vision of what the US Govt. was really after in Iraq when there is happiness all over the air waves. When we see who ends up with what cards (who has the oil, whos getting the oil. what govt. is set up, where other countries stand, etc), It'll be more clear if Mr. Bush was pulling a fast one on us the whole time, or really intended on liberating the people (and winning votes for 2004). Frankly, only the closest of the close to the president know what's what in Iraq, so forming any opinion other than 'let's wait and see' as the American public isn't doing and automaitcally jumping for joy that we "won" (we haven't officially won anything yet, by the way) is a bit unfounded.
