In anticipation of a Kerry victory,...

And what if they think that?

I fully appreciate someone having their own opinion whether it jives with mine or not, but it still infuriates me. I wouldn't really expect anyone to understand (or care, for that matter), but it has more to do with why I support the war in Iraq--which isn't at all related to the threat of WMD's.

And that reason is?

You don't hear much about the "cluster " in Iraq since we cleaned house in Samarra.

That's why I posted what I posted, SW. I DO NOT revel in the deaths of our young men over there. I DO think that it is a cluster .

I'm pretty sure that your motivations are to install a democracy over there,SW. I just don't see it happening. People think that we can turn everyone into little Americans. It just won't happen. These people want three things: to be ultra religous, to be poor, and to hate. I read one Iraqi describe the current regime as "rampant Ataturkism". Kemal Ataturk was the father of modern Turkey. If they don't like the model of Turkey as a secular state of primarily Islamic people, then we have no chance to succeed in building a democracy in Iraq.
