With those 100,000 dead....200,000 if you include Falluja according to the article, don't you sleep better at night here in the US, knowing that we're safer now?
Bush says it's a success in Iraq! We got rid of the dictator...so the Iraqi people should just bow down to us and totally accept democracy and throw roses and chocolates to our soldiers who are helping to make their country safe!
So if by "success" Bush means "total fucking fiasco" then yes...it was a success.

I wish I had mod points. This at least deserves to be seen.
Yeah Now Iraq is about to become an model of peace, democracy, and freedom. is a BIT exaggerated. It will turn into "a" democracy in a while. It is not going to be too peaceful, but it will be a democracy.
Bloodshed has also decreased in Palestine
Not knowing total figures, I can not say that that is correct. However, violence there kept at about the same level for the duration of the conflict.
It is the second paragraph that is the most interesting. Where was the UN when Rwanda massacres were occuring. Oh yeah, they were criticizing israel on the occupation (at that point without much bloodshed) of "Palestinians". That makes me have much faith in the UN. The only thing that the UN has been correct about is that we need to do something about the AIDS epidemic. Of course no constructive suggestions were actually offered.
So whoever kept modding this down as a troll, why do you not want this seen. Why are you disinforming people? Why do you want to censor information?
Sigh...
