http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/01/30/iraq.main/ Nice artical, especially for CNN. I guess they changed their minds and don't hate America now!
Aljazeera is pissy about it, but I think even if the Iraqi people all signed a thank you card and hand delivered it to Bush they would remain unconvinced.
http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/F1149ACC-43EE-4BA6-AD8A-AC9D62290514.htm We should probably get the hell out of there and stop spending so much money once that piece is stabalized. That might take a bit of time, and we don't want to ditch them.
On a related subject, people need to stop saying that we are going to invade Iran now that we are done with Iraq. I'm going to start slapping folks.
Lastly: If we eliminated outerspace research and reduced social security by 70%, and decreased the amount people are allowed to deduct from their income taxed by about 40%...the economy would rock out hardcore.
