I agree totally.
Especially with #9 - We are there to find and destroy the WMD (and they better for our sake find some), and nothing more. This liberation BS is just to make us feel better about what we are doing. I could care less if they shower us with flowers. Keep your eyes on the main reason we're there. To protect the world from WMD. Despite what some say, democracy will not spread across the Arab world. Most of the governments in that region are run by dictators as well, just not as nasty as Saddam.
Great list, Tryjay
By the way, I was sickened by the Academy Awards on 2 counts.
1. When are people like Michael Moore going to realize that the election is over?
2. They give the best Director award to man who drugged and raped a 13 year-old girl at Jack Nicholson's home in '77 and is afraid to face justice so he hides overseas like a coward!
Peace out
