I do not consider that the behavior of a responsible citizen, unless you want to share in the responsibility for disaster

Ah yes. Because speaking out against foreign policy forwarded by 'dear leader' or the 'party' is verboten. Eh, comrade?

Could you for a moment, put yourself in the shoes of an Iraqi?

No, because I'm not. They want freedom, let them do what needs to be done in their government. None of my business

Would you want to give up your hopes for freedom because Nancy Pelosi sees political convenience in it?

Well if I was an Iraqi and I understood the history of this nation of states, its noninterventionist policy before the crusades of 'spreading democracy' (pre-1898), I would understand that these United States shouldn't have been there in the first place. I would suggest a rereading of several of the Framers on this issue but the 'conservative' argument is 'times change'. Of course being rewrapped early 19th century Progressives that you are, you would say that to support the ever expanding attempt of trying to establish US like government in other nations. I would remind you that other empires have tried that in the past, and failed from the long view, but it would be futile.

We needed the help of a superpower in order for us to gain our independence. So does Iraq.
