"While Newt is not helping on this by using the terminology I can't see why anyone should be disagreeing with him."




There are too many people who equate criticism of our policy with embracing the Democrats. I supported the toppling of Saddam, as did most Americans, but I have never been all that enthusiastic with the Willsonian adventure in nation building. We should of focused more on setting up a secure government that would not harbor terrorists and then let the Iraquis decide for themselves if they wanted to make the transisition to a democratic form of government.

They decided in three different elections when up to 12 million Iraqis braved life and limb to vote.

How tiresome it is when people adopt ignorance as their own. This is NOT "nation building" Iraq is already a nation. This is no more "nation building" than the reconstruction of Japan and Germany were "nation building" after WWII.

What glib nonsense will we hear next?
