I have, and have posted as much on these boards. However, I get the gut feeling that things are turning. It will take time, but they are turning.
The opposite side of the coin is that you guys want a democracy cut from whole cloth in roughly the length of a sit com. Granted, the execution post victory has been terrible, but this shit takes time and there are going to be mistakes. But there has been a lot of good news that has been completely ignored (e.g., half of Iraq's ministeries are now under Iraqi rule). Rome, errr, post-WWII Germany/Japan were not built in a day.
I also predict that Bush will be vindicated on WMD. This does not change his post war execution, but at least it will shut a lot of holes.
