You have opposed the liberation of Iraq from the beginning, and continue your sniping while the liberated Iraqis proudly wave their purple index fingers in the world's face. > Perhaps a trip to the local library to read about the services that were available in London at the height of the German blitz, MAY educate you about what it is like in the middle of an ongoing war.

Iraq finally has a government elected by a high percentage of those eligible to vote. Previously, they elected an interim government, and then voted again to approve a WRITTEN Iraqi-style Constitution and Bill of Rights. > Perhaps you should catch up with what is happening outside Baghdad, where 14 out of Iraq's 18 provinces are experiencing little or no conflict. It might give you a better perspective. The problem is that you seem uninterested in a balanced perspective. > Think about it. You resent the liberators so much that you are reduced to supporting some 20,000 brutal and sadistic insurgents, WHOSE GOAL IS TO DENY A WHOLE COUNTRY FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY, while showing a callous indifference to the plight of 25 million Iraqis. The irony is that you do so while enjoying for yourself the relative freedoms of a democracy. >
