PC, I am; my comments were mocking. The article shows a very thankful Iraqi President who understands that our effort has nothing to do with Haliburton, Cheney/Rove, etc., and has everything to do with spreading liberty and democracy. Liberty and democracy prevent terrorism; authoritarianism (e.g., Saddam, Soviet Union, Saudi Arabia) merely keeps it under the lid, simmering, to explode later or elsewhere.
