So we disrupted the lives of the people who loved the West... at least they're not being tortured or executed by their Iraqi leaders.
I'd say it's time to put things in perspective....
On the one hand we have Saddam and his regime, where people were tortured and executed for pretty much anything, and where women were routinely raped in front of their husbands "as punishment", and where Udai, son of the dictator, would pick up random women in order to rape and torture them...
And on the other hand we have the *temporary* problem of (un)security, where women (*and men*) have to go out in groups, to prevent being mugged/raped/killed by the very criminals Saddam let out of the jails, and some Saddam-lovers that are hell-bend on causing chaos...
Hmm... You know, perhaps islamic fundamentalism might be a good thing for the Iraqis for a change - at least they'll be able to rid themselves of their criminals. They'll grow up in a few decades, just as Iran is growing up. I'm not saying it's a perfect solution, but it beats having permanent chaos. I'd prefer a stable democratic government, but I don't see that happening anytime soon, thanks (in part) to foreign influences, and disruptive elements.
