the "good things are happening in iraq" argument is a ruse. A coverup. It's an attempt to distract the American people from the real issue, and that is that the whole war was started on false premises, and hundreds of young American men and women have been killed, and thousands have been wounded, permanently disfigured, scarred, and handicapped as a result. And that's not to mention the vast numbers of non-Americans who were killed or maimed.
Lying to start a catastrophe, and then claiming that a little good came of it so everything must be alright and it's just the alarmist "evil liberal media" that's trying to portray the war as a bad thing is absurd.
This ends-justify-the-means approach is a dangerous one no matter what the situation. It certainly should not be encouraged as part of our foriegn policy.
