As for the Koreans and Japanese wanting us, you may be right but there is a huge difference between dozens of attacks on our troops a day in Iraq and none in those countries. Polls in Iraq tell us a majority of Iraqis think it is OK to attack Americans. Not so in Japan or Korea (not even close)

In short, the comparison is bogus, and in your heart of hearts you know it. There is NO death toll from Japan and Korea and there never was once the wars there were over. In Iraq the war has never ended and looks to be likely to go on as long as we care to fight.

Bottom line - The Iraqis DONT WANT US THERE. Do you believe in democracy? Or is that only for us and not for them? Or do only WE get to decide when they are allowed to decide what goes on in their own country?
