Let the Arab ccountired join the two thirds of Americans who are also dissatisfied with Byshed war. I guess they also believed the Bush lie. Sprinkle some freedom dust over the place and everyone would conform. There is a hugh cost to pay for what America has done. We are reaping what Bush have sowned

It is widely recognized that the image of the US has been severely damaged by the Iraq War: How it was started, how it has been carried out and the extreme problems now.

US ability to lead, to influence others, as well as Americans’ view of the actions of our own government and military have all been affected.

Deception has apparently been a big part in the Iraq War from the planning for it and continuing now.

Most mericans don’t believe or trust the current administration. Other players in the Iraq War don’t either.

Food for thought on these issues is the article below:

U.S. public relations on Iraq War need truth, honesty about America

That’s because you don’t bring democracy to a people or it’s disparate groups. They have to want it and be willing to die for it.

Themselves.

This is the big lie and fig leaf used, as to why we are there or why we invaded in the first place.
Makes us feel good about ourselves attacking a country which didn’t attack us.

It was never a truly united country, but a number of contentious factions/religious groups that were held together by borders drawn by the British in the 20’s and ruled by despots since.

The Bush Administration is dedicated to spreading democracy throughout the Middle East?  How odd given that the absolute rulers of both Saudi Arabia and Kuwait and the other UAE are bosom buddies of the Bush royal family.  Do we have some sort of a conflict here?  In terms?  In message?  In policy?  What we have is a big, fat lie.

This speaks to a much larger issue. The US has not only lost a war, and nearly broken its Army; the US has been exposed as a paper Tiger, with far-reaching implications.
