If you're full of doom and gloom about the spread of liberty to Iraq, I'm not going to talk you out of it.

If you think you'll get me (or other Freepers) to join your lack of faith in the US, and the US military, and the power of liberty, you haven't come to the right place.

That's especially true today, after the uplifting speech by Prime Minister Allawi.

I am sorry that you take my comments as a lack of faith in the US, the military, or democracy.

That is certainly not how I feel.

If you read my comments again, you will not that my main concern is the political meddling with the commanders in theater.

My argument is that there are some problems in Washington that are adversely effecting the mission in Iraq and the overall WOT.

My other argument is that if one is trying to bring democracy and liberty, advocating the extermination of the Iraqis based on the actions of Saudis, chechens, or various foreign-born extremists in Iraq is not very productive.

On the contrary, it is juvenile, misguided, and damaging to the mission.
