Yesterday marked the fourth anniversary of the fall of Baghdad. And it's still falled, as is the rest of that country that we supposedly went to liberate.
How did the Iraqis celebrate this anniversary? By taking to the streets, ripping American flags, and demanding that U.S. forces leave Iraq. And who can blame them? We went into their country under false pretenses and in defiance of the United Nations Security Council; we destroyed their country; and four years later it's still in a state of destruction -- along with a civil war.
The Iraqi people want us out of Iraq. The American people want us out of Iraq. Only George W. Bush and his small (and shrinking) circle of cronies want us there.
But we stay anyway.
This is not what democracy looks like.
