Maybe He's Just The Middle Eastern George Bush

Iraqi President Says U.S. To Stay As Long As Needed.

Of course, maybe President Jalal Talabani is the Middle Eastern version of George Bush- the democratically elected president who doesn't really represent the nation.

In all seriousness, how can one protest, "They don't want us there!" when the democratically elected leaders of Iraq clearly do want us there. As always, there is plenty to debate about the war- However, unless you put more faith in vocal terrorists than in Iraq's fledgling new democracy, it is difficult to comprehend how the anti-war crowd can claim he moral high ground on our presence in Iraq in the first place.
