text: why does everybody think the war in iraq is a failure? its not a failure. we liberated a country from an evil dictator. we are building roads, schools, hospitals. iraq has made a four year high of 3 billion dollars in oil, money saddam would have used to build more palaces. the iraqi forces are starting to do whole operations by themselves. they got there government up and running in about 2 years. it took us about 5. yes, soldiers are dying, and yes it is sad that they are, but we are giving these people and the people in the middle east hope. there will always be those people over there saying they hate us, but that is not the majority. i am sick and tired of everybody thinkink that we are evil for being in iraq and saying it is a failure when it is not. so shut up. it will take longer than 4 years to rebuild a country. here are some thoughts as to why.  people listen to the media, which is liberal, and anti-bush.  people don't like to learn from history, and remember how hard it was to get what we have in america, and that it is mostly due to the wars we fought, died, and bled for.  soldiers have always died in war, and this is no different.  it is no surprise to them, or their families.  they know it can happen, and still happily go.  they love their country, and lots of americans cannot understand, or appreciate it.  i agree completely with you.  it is not a failure, and i hope that you realize not as many say that as you are hearing.   the media just wants you to think it is all bad.  keep speaking truth, and sharing what you know.
