    The Only Reason People are Unhappy about Iraq

    The only reason Americans, Liberal or otherwise, are "unhappy" (as opposed to the Iraqi's who are "dead") is that America lost that war.

    I remember a time, not so long ago, when everyone in America was for the war.

    What did they think? That Saddam would be scared off that damn hill? That no children would die?

    I know this is too broad a brush. That there were many in America who were "against" the war. But you take my point.
