"Well I guess the Iraqis gained your respect here."

For some reason, I still feel it should be the other way around.

Again, once we leave, if that ever happens, and they are able to hold this thing together themselves, only then will they gain my respect. I never had a lot of respect for a people that would sit by for decades, and live under brutal tyranny run by a dictator. Sometimes if people want to live free, they have to sacrifice for it. They clearly opted not to do this on their own.

If brutal tyranny ever took hold here in America, would you just sit by and take it? Or would you be willing to stand up to it? My respect for you would be based on your answer.

We all know you're rooting for it, Joe!

"They clearly opted not to do this on their own."

Could you *clearly* spell out how you wanted them to do that? Really, tell me how JOE the Iraqui would have stood up to the Saddam Hussein tyranny in Iraq of the last 30 years. I'm all ears.
