If you think the hours you spend reading biased bloggers makes you better educated than me, you might want to reconsider the values of the degrees you earned. I read fuck all on foreign policy. I read the news and apply common sense.

Bush can take all of the credit for what's happening in Iraq. It's not exactly a success story yet:- By day or night, Baghdad has become a cacophony of automatic weapons fire, explosions and sudden death, its citizens living in constant fear of being shot by insurgents or the security forces meant to protect them. Streets are crammed with passenger cars fighting for space with armored vehicles and pickups loaded with hooded and heavily armed Iraqi soldiers. Hundreds of bombs in recent months have made mosques, public squares, sidewalks and even some central streets extremely dangerous places in Baghdad. On Haifa Street, rocket-propelled grenades sometimes fly through traffic. Rashid Street is a favorite for roadside bombers near the Tigris River.
AP. So Bush gets to take the blame, too.

You think thats enough to write off the whole vote and change? You're dealing with a country where people have never felt safe doing anything and suddenly there is a power vacuum. For a few years there will be extreme crime, then there are the insurgants and the AQ guys. I believe as the Iraqui peoples step up to police and militia positions they will take care of all these problems. Best piece of evidence? Its gory but- for awhile the high profile bombings come at recruitment/graduation things for police and militia. They still happen and they still kill scores of people. I say things are going in a positve way in Iraq- if not, why are there still scores of people killed at police recruitment/ graduations?
Bahgdad is violent and you want to blame the W? Shit- start at home people get murdered here every day. Wisconsin may not be "ready" for democracy under the Ty test.
