So when your government tells you you're gonna get attacked then you're cool with that? Do you pay taxes? I'm sure the govt is supposed to guarantee everyone's safety against foreign aggression. And Bush would agree with me; that's why we're in Iraq. Unfortunately, we're there for the wrong reasons.
And how can you say the US is handling the situation well. Violence is part of the routine in Iraq. Innocent people get killed. The citizens aren't friendly to the US troops. Gore talked about the New York Times, if you read the paper you'll see what's happening.
Maybe I expect too much from the US Military, but it seems to me we are having a lot of trouble pacifying this tiny backwards corner of the globe. It's like it's real hard work. And on top of that we disgrace ourselves by flouting Geneva Conventions. So we are fighting dirty but we still aren't winning.
Someone once observed that the architects of a victorious war are never charged with war crimes. There's a reason not to withdraw from Iraq--if we win, Rummy et al. escape the death penalty! Don't think the White House legal dept. hasn't studied this.
