There is yet hope for this country...

When I read news stories like this one I am encouraged to believe that there are some sensible people out there who might yet make a difference. There is no sense to our being in Iraq and creating more terrorists in the process. We often complain here about photo ops from the president but why don't people complain about the photo ops that some citizens of Iraq indulge in, aided and abbetted by certain members of the U.S. press, when Iraqi's proclaim that they want democracy and they want Americans here. Such photos ops ring false and only serve to brainwash some gullible Americans into thinking we are wanted and should be there. If we could have captured Saddam Hussein within the first month following the invasion and then left, it would have been an entirely different situation but we have destroyed the country in an effort to "save" it.
