And let's not forget Afghanistan. It may not be perfect, but they have come a very long way in a short period of time. Once people taste freedom, there is no going back. I am proud of what the US has been able to do in Afghanistan and I pray Iraq will turn out well. Remember, history cannot be judged in the moment.
The leftists (and a few malcontents around here) seem to forget all about that.
Iraq is messier because of all the terrorists who have filtered in from other countries, but it's going to be a success story too.
Anyone who judges this President harshly on this speech (whether it be Noonan, Buckley, or joeblowfreeper), does not grasp the vision.
