The people of Iraq are currently being governed by an occupying army, Teribus, hardly self-governing now and as to when they might be self-governing is anyone's guess.

You do remember that Saddam Hussein was kept in power by the US government--in fact, many of the current administration (Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al) did that dirty work on our behalf during their revolving door assignments back in the 1980s.

Do you think none of us Americans know the history of our own government's misdeeds in our own lifetime?

The United Nations has pulled out , and along with it international support for the occupation and the occupiers governing Iraq is largely non-existent.

As to the WMD, well--what WMD exactly? The ones that the Bush administration lied about in the Bush State of the Union speech--the claim that our own CIA has proved false, fabricated, etc. but the Bush administration chose to lie about anyway?

Of course, THOSE WMD.
