I don't normally put entire quotes here...but I think this warrants it....
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: "We have made a lot of mistakes in Iraq.
But when Arabs kill Arabs and Shiites kill Shiites and Sunnis kill all in a spasm of violence that is blind and furious and has roots in hatreds born long before America was even a republic, to place the blame on the one player, the one country, the one military that has done more than any other to try to separate the combatants and bring conciliation is simply perverse.
It infantilizes Arabs.
It demonizes Americans.
It willfully overlooks the plainest of facts:
Iraq is their country.
We midwifed their freedom.
They chose civil war."
