I'm sure that there are many in Iraq that feel exactly the same way. There are many in Iran that pray for a US invasion every day.

And a lot who probably feel the opposite.
This kind of thing really doesn't prove much, does it?

It's not an occupation.
When the rulers ask us to leave, then that's another issue.

We're still in Germany - 60 yrs. later.
We're still in Korea - 53 yrs. later.
We're still in a lot of places for reasons I don't understand (not Iraq or Afg.), and I wish we'd bring the boys home.

So we should just leave the women there?
I hope we're not in Iraq 53-60 years from now.
By the way, besides the deaths and injuries involved, according to news reports if the Administration really asks for another $100 Billion for the war effort early next year, it will bring the total to almost half a trillion dollars.

So 500 billion dollars?
Should we keep all troops in the US?

Yep. $500 Billion.
Obviously we can't keep all of the troops in the US -- but, as should be no surprise to anyone -- I've questioned this Iraq invasion from the start.
Again, only my opinion.

Again, it comes down to a question of when to act.
If the US didn't topple Saddam, and then a year later he did do something stupid I'm sure Bush would have been blamed for that also.
He is in a lose lose situation by the many small minded people that hate him. Nevermind that all anyone can ever do is make the best decision with the information they have at the time.
I'm sure that if FDR launched an invasion against the Nazi's much earlier he would have been in the same position as Bush. However, since he waited until we were attacked it is a much different situation.

I'm sorry but that almost sounded like a "Bluto-esqe" comment

I think it comes down to a question of whether to act -- not when.

Funny how we've been supporting a position of acting under several administrations and 2 parties voted to act this time.

Do you have a source for that because I can tell you a different story.

How many of those same people do you suppose would have voted in favor of invasion if they knew that there were no WMD? That there was no discernable link between Sadaam and 9/11?
My strong suspicion is that more than a few who voted now feel they (we) were sold a bill of goods.
I doubt that there is a question in most peoples mind that the world is better off with Sadaam out of power. But, given the above, is it worth 1,000 plus American lives and $500 Billion?
