In my experience, most Muslims, especially Arab Muslims agree with our ousting of Saddam Hussein. Most of them only understand force, not diplomacy. Many, if not most of them would like us to now leave Iraq, but unfortunately they are not ready to work together in building and defending the new Iraq.
The real tragedy of Abu Ghraib is it has allowed the critics of the United States to drag the name of our Armed Forces through the dirt. But for every atrocity that was committed in Abu Ghraib, there are countless examples of professionalism, compassion, and mercy displayed by our military in the streets and back alleys of Iraq and the hills of Afghanistan every day.
