We removed a government and helped set up a new one. This has been done countless times in Latin America and it hardly even makes the papers.
If Iraqis had just cooled their jets, accept the fact that their hated dictator was gone, and stopped blowing themselves up, it would all be over today.
It is not the Iraqi people we're fighting, it's the insurgency. If the insurgency cut their crap out, and recognized the new, superior, democratic government as being legitimate, I'm confident U.S. forces would be out of there quickly.
What should have been an in-and-out mission that would benefit both sides has ended up hurting both sides due to Islamofascist scum.

As the only remaining superpower, the United States can indeed do as it pleases. If the U.N. decides we're in the wrong, what are they going to do? Attack us with soldiers from France?
Yes, I believe it is worth killing Islamofascists to obtain oil. It is more important for me to be able to pay less than $2.50 a gallon for gasoline than it is to preserve the life of an America-hating rat in a dirty nightshirt who has way too many kids who he sends off to suicide-bombing camp every day.

Yes . . . Iraqis are fighting and they will fight for that oil as long as they live and the oil in Iraq will keep burning just like is burning right now every time a major pipe is blown away.
Because they know. . .
