You say that in such an apologetic tone. No one in America, least of all the Bush Administration, has ever said that the Iraqi people are monsters.
Point 1: They were ruled by monsters - Saddam, his sons, and somewhere around 49 others...see deck of cards. (plus a few thousand idiot Bathhasts)
Point 2: We Freed The Iraqis
Point 3:The messy process of a developing, fledgling democracy is currently in progress - and going quite well thank you. Predictably messy - but going quite well.
Point 4: Some 200 mass graves with over 300,000 Iraqi citizens murdered at Saddam's whim have been found. There will be no more mass graves....
Point 5: Except for insurgents that try to recreate the past. Welcome to the definition of firepower...US Forces.
