6. We can't just jump into their culture and expect them to bend to our ways
Which is exactly what we're trying to force on the Iraqi people. The complexities of the Iraqi culture were never honestly evaluated before this invasion. The result is a war that will never be won and enemies that were not there before.

Bush's arrogance has come at the price of senseless destruction of human life. No matter how much they spin, they will never validate the blood that has been spilled, the lives lost and the families destroyed.

I'm glad to hear your husband was lucky enough to leave before things really went to hell.
