The war is over, and I hope that we do a good job cleaning up and getting the hell out.
I thought we jumped the gun on the war, didn't believe the so-called evidence that there were WMD, don't believe the war makes us "safer" from terrorists.
Do believe the the people of Iraq are glad Saddam is gone, and would be happy if the US removed more dictators around the world. Not just the ones where we have ulterior motives for removing.
Unhappy that America is perceived world wide as imperialist dickheads, know that foreign policy matters, and that the president can affect that perception.
Frustrated that our President throws us into a war that we can't afford, while proposing tax cuts for the rich. Pissed off that a good patriotic, feel good war does such a great job of distracting the American public from domestic morass.
Unhappy that dissent = unpatriotic.
Frustrated that we didn't realize that once we removed Saddam people would think (justifably so) that we would need to run Iraq immediately. Public order, fixing sewage/power/water plants, setting up a police/fire authority, etc. are all things that could have happen more quickly than they have. Where was the planning? Oh yeah, planning is hard to do when we are rushing to war...
Whew. Is that what you mean?
