Keep in mind we are at War with the Isamlic world and the majority of Iraqis and Muslims hate us no matter what. They didnt like Saddam but he kept them in check through fear. Now that fear is taken away they are showing their true colors.
I really don't mind these guys criticizing the President, despite the monumental selfishness it expresses.
The way I see it, President Bush's policies gave them the liberty to spout off. If they are still spouting off, they must still be free.
It depends on what part of Iraq you're talking about. In many regions things are very calm and moving forward, in others fear is still a prominent factor.
