MM...I agree with you on the moral responsibility of the US for the chaos we created Iraq.
But I understand the anger and frustration of those who say the "hell with it".
Bush has been dishonest with the American people from before the invasion to his latest pronouncement about Iraqi progress on the benchmarks and we have 3500+ dead family, friends and neighbors and 25,000+ injured as a result of that dishonesty. There is some justification to say "enough" if one can ignore the collateral damage to the Iraqi people.
