It's interesting that so much 'revisionist' history is out there already. Really.

I had understood--when I supported the war and was pissed at my own government for not supporting the US/UK/Spain/Bulgaria effort--that the aim was to get rid of Hussein (a $.50 piece of lead could have done that) and get WMDs out of the hands of Iraqis. Now, years after the war commenced, I am finding out that the war has been about freedom and democracy for an oppressed people. Wonder why the US leadership didn't say that to begin with?
