ok let me put my own opinion forward..
Elections seem to this point fine and dandy, although I think we need to give more time for the full ramificaiton. I am worried about some of the minorities in Iraq and a sort of tyranny of the majority problem.

Bush is still wrong
this is just a (possible) silver lining
We went in the wrong way, and for the wrong reasons. Simple as that.

Now willravel I normally agree with you, but I must take exception over the getting involved in Korea. the koreans were attacked and it was a UN force that led the charge. Now when they tried to go and take N. Korea that was a little too far because they got China involved which complicated the mess. I probably would not be here if it wasn't for the US and the UN getting involved in Korea.

Now on to the subject of the anti-war protests. To generalize the entire movement that way is insulting to the movement. Yes marxists were involved, but they didn't make up the entire movement. Just like yes the anarchists protest, but they arent' the only ones. Their is such a wide spectrum of ideaologies in these sometimes very loose knit groups it is impossible to put one lable on them.
