I can only hope Bush finds the wisdom to stay the course in Iraq. I hope he doesn’t become scared politically by the impending elections. The media coverage shows purely awful things in Iraq. Suicide bombers, ambushes, and kidnapping made me start to think quite poorly of all Muslims. You start to question the invasion as it started to seem unappreciated. It would seem that most Iraqis couldn’t have cared less about being free. After a while you think they are all barbarians. I’ve recently started reading Iraqi’s blogs and it’s a good reminder of the real people that are being helped.
The media coverage has been pathetic in its attempt to subtly dissuade people that the war (and Bush) was wrong. I don’t understand how so many self proclaimed “liberals” could essentially support a ruthless dictator. I think it’s their hatred of GW Bush that makes them oppose anything and everything he does; even if that means supporting a ruthless dictator. If there is one thing that will help the Iraq effort, it will be the internet. The big media cannot prevent the real voices from being heard. Without it, and without pro-active democracy minded Iraqis, support for the cause would be greatly diminished.

well called mate!
i've been thinking the same thing.
although i think that war, in itself is wrong, we cant just pull out now, its ridiculus, then the iraq would be overcome by anarchy, or even worse, more tyranny.
while i dont like bush, i do think that he is honestly trying to do the right thing, even if his mindset is a little off.
