It seems the rest of the country does not agree with you and for every site you find saying Iraq is doing good and democracy is spreading I can find 10 more saying it isn't. I go by what I hear from the people I know that are there now. There has been more violience in last last month than in the last year. THere have been more US soldiers injuries in the last month than in than a year. You only hear of soldiers deaths on TV not the blown off arms legs and faces.

Rate of Killing Same as Under Saddam

According to a recent United Nations report, nearly 50 academics have been assassinated in Iraq over the past two years. A US official says the number is closer to 100, but added that the pattern of the killings is not clear, with "terrorism, general thuggery, pay back, and de-Baathification" all playing a role.

Saudi Arabia is worried about radicals from the kingdom who slipped into Iraq to fight the Americans, coming back to Saudi Arabia to destabilize it....
