If the US were really the war mongering heartless invaders some are trying to portray; the US as we would have just bombed the sh** out of them and left them to suffer. They have spent billions of dollars rebuilding the areas they bombed, and making them a lot better than they were before. I think the only real mistake being made is trying to force the Iraqi's to have a democratic government within the guidlines of the US advisors. A democracy won't work in that type of muslim nation and we should just rebuild and let them govern themselves, it's still their country, or is it?
