#3 Note the continued pathological dysfunction that prevents the US getting the credit. It's important not to let Iraqis off easy for this. Our interest is served by their freedom and prosperity - imagine that - but we do them no favors if we indulge their ingratitude, whether it springs from humiliation, ignorance, racism, or a mix.

For your orwellian nugget of the day (or is it hour?), howz about Few credit the United States, still widely unpopular given the post-invasion violence?

Uh, excuse me, Achmed, the "post-invasion violence" was 100% the work of Iraqis and their respective foreign collaborators (when innocents were targeted) and 99% the work of Iraqis and their respective foreign collaborators (when there was some sort of actual fire-fight or the like).

But to answer the question - uh, no, this story would never have received much attention when Bush was in office.
