Maybe somebody can tell me how many Iraqis died in our Civil War.

I keep hearing from the Bush apologists that we had to fight for ten years for our independence and then struggle to form a constitution in 1789. After that, 70 years later we had to fight a Civil War to make this country into what it is today.

Be patient, they tell us, Iraq's democracy will take time.

What utter bull shit.

The French fought along side us to drive out the British and then left. Just as we should have done after Saddam was removed. By the way, the French fought against the British in 1777 because it was in their best interest.

Every other country in the world minded their own business.

During our Civil War, no foreign armies got involved. Certainly no Iraqis. Do you know why no Iraqis fought in our Civil War? Because they were smart enough to mind their own damn business, that's why.
