Do you want to continue in this? Really? Are you going to assert that Iraq is better off now? That is flat out wrong. It is a living nightmare for the vast majority of people living there. Go ahead, dig in.

I'm sure for those that got preferential treatment from Hussein, this is much worse. That's the way it is when the ruling class is reduced to that of the other people.

Go ahead, keep bullshitting, it's pretty obvious. Life in Iraq is horrible for regular, everyday people, the same people we were supposedly "liberating." So again, thousands of U.S. soldiers maimed, thousands killed, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis dead or displaced, billions of taxpayer dollars down the toilet, but I guess Kurds are less miserable? Yeah, that seems worth it.

You live in the US, right, and are Iraqi? Why are you here?

Sorry, none of those facts are any of your business, and you're addressing more than 1 poster as the same person. Facts are facts, if you want to get personal, maybe you should share more about yourself and what your agenda is.

I am simply wondering why some folk from other countries come here and then bash our way of government, call us murderers, etc. Seems counter-intuitive.

"Love it or leave it" really is the last refuge of scoundrels.

You don't have to "hate America" or our system to realize that the Iraq debacle was a national tragedy. From the admitted war crimes committed by the Bush administration to the 500k-1 million Iraquis who died prematurely, to the hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars thrown down the toilet.

In fact, I'd say it shows quite a bit more love of America than excusing some of the worst policy mistakes of the last century for purely partisan reasons. That's the real betrayal of America.

The problem is not with the poster's expression of their opinions. And this isn't a love it or leave it attitude being expressed. It is simply a question of choice really.

I'm asking why this poster makes the choice to stay.

She is right. You aren't "simply" asking a question, and it is disingenuous for you to play it this way now. She has obviously made the point that life in Iraq sucks right now. Do you know many people who want to live in a war-torn, economically depressed country?

A better question would be to ask her what she likes about the US. Because you are taking offense at what she dislikes about it.

I love America, which I why I hate George Bush and the shame he's brought to America (because the Iraq War should make us all feel ashamed) and the destruction and mayhem and misery he caused for the Iraqi people FOR NO REASON.

Don't forget the admitted war crimes.
