'You Have Liberated a People' Iraqis of all sects report progress, not "civil war" (Must Read)

Shocking. An article supportive of the police action in the War Street Journal. Remind me again. When did it become the business of this nation to go to war to 'liberate' people? Can they not liberate themselves? Mr. Adams was quite clear in this statement

She will commend the general cause by the countenance of her voice, and the benignant sympathy of her example. She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom. The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force.... She might become the dictatress of the world. She would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit....

And what's truly pitiful is 'conservatives' don't even care anymore.
