MINOR flaws? UH excuse me? So tell me how ‘we’re’ trying to build Iraq ..thus far what has been accomplished?

The WSJ publishes a LONG piece every two weeks detailing progress in Iraq.

I suppose you are one of those who sits there, arms folded, demanding news reports brought to your attention every day detailing the back-breaking work our troops are doing, the progress being made.

Do yourself a favor, do what I did--talk to those who've actually BEEN there. I know that's more difficult than sitting on your butt watching the tube all day, but it's always amusing to me how we complain about the biased media 24/7 around here, and then write foolishness as you do. Educate yourself about reality, and stop reading sources that only buttress your already-held beliefs. Unearned cynicism isn't the same as educating yourself about the truth.

Excuse me? I dont sit and watch TV and drink in the propaganda. I supported the war that is till I did exactly as you proposed, I stopped reading sources that only buttressed my already-held beliefs and I educated myself about the truth. And I did what you suggested.. read accounts of those who have been there and found some interesting information
