I do hope, sort of, that some day Iraq will be a better place, but I sure don't see that happening soon, and I also don't think they will remember America as their saviors. What will be remembered is the destruction and the death, and the children of the people who were killed will grow up hating America because of it.
Bush will never think he is wrong. That's the saddest part.
I was re-reading Jingo by Terry Pratchett recently (highly recommend it) and it is about a war, and in it a character says that, and I'm paraphrasing, 'there are many reasons to go to war with Ankh-Morpork (fictional city-state in the Discworld), a lie isn't one of them.'
I thought that the same thing could be said of our situation.
