Among the freedoms they might have cherished was the freedom from getting blown to shit as collateral damage in our war to rid the world of the clear and present danger of Saddam's WMDs.
Don't get me wrong - I read the papers and I know that history has been revised so that now the war was all about giving them the chance to elect a puppet government and getting rid of the sadistic psychopaths who ran the place previously. But what exactly is this guy saying Bush was "right" about?

So, we've deposed a mass killer of his own people and others, the people who have been freed have expressed, through polls, an overwhelming happiness with both this deposing and their resulting freedom, they have exercised their new democracy in a rather enthusiatic and heartwarming way, this may well be the first step in bringing an entire region into a more democratic, less despotic era, and you're bitter about this because it goes against your core values?
Scary core values.
