I suggest anyone having a problem with this war go talk to the Iraqi's. Ask them if they prefer freedom (even at the price of, initially having what seems to be chaos), or if they prefer Saddam Hussein come back and reinstates the old ways.

I DARE anyone to say the Iraqi's were better off before, under Hussein.

"I want to say that we hate America," said Ahid Alah, a 39-year-old mother of five who had turned up with the throng at the Abu Hanifa mosque in the Adhmya quarter of Baghdad and expressly elbowed her way to an American journalist....

"When you see a U.S. Marine," I asked the mother, "what goes through your mind?"

"I cross the street and ask God to take America out of Iraq," she replied. "Saddam is better than the U.S. He is our president."

Go ahead, Gene -- go to Baghdad and kick Ahid Alah's ass.

(Or maybe you can deal with her in the usual charming way you deal with women who disagree with you.)
