George Bush did a great thing in liberating the Iraqi people. It is the Iraqi people who are unwilling to live in peace and prosperity with each other.

I'm sorry, Theja, but you're sticking your head in the sand and regurgitating the party line. Blaming "terrorists" (the current party line is "muslim extremists," btw) for the direct consequences of the US invasion is not patriotism, it's a sham and I can see through it. Regardless of Saddam Hussein's atrocities, "regular" Iraqis did not fear for their lives on a daily basis, which they do now. Hussein kept "terrorists" at bay while also keeping liberty at bay.
At the least have the courage to say "we did this right, and we did this wrong, and this is how we're going to fix it."
