You can criticize all you want, but until you have been there and gotten a bigger picture of what goes on in the day to day rebuilding efforts by all parties (except, of course, the extremists, terrorists, and criminals) your thoughts, beliefs, insight, and arguments have ZERO credibility.

Those that object(ed) to the invasion of Iraq don't
need credibility. There's certainly tons of evidence to support the arguments of the objectors, but I'll play to your hand for the purposes of this discussion.
The only
need for credibility lies with the authors of the invasion. It seems like fundamental logic that if I want to invade a foreign country killing thousands of their citizens, hundreds of my own countrymen and virtually bankrupt my own economy even to the extent of putting the world economy at risk while I'm at it, I better have a very good and sustainable reason for doing so.
Yet on the credibility front, each basis that was used to support the invasion has proven to be blatantly false or, at best somewhat shaky. How is it that you are not outraged?
Your comments about the good things that you see/hear about what is now going on in Iraq is great stuff but my friend, that's just humanity making lemonade from lemons.
I bet that in a hundred years or so (probably much less) this whole thing is going to look like the earth is flat/round debate.
