"Their 911 shenanigans has driven this country to financial ruin!!!"

Wrong. Reckless, stupid spending is leading us to ruin. An Addiction to welfare and entitlements are leading us to financial ruin.

"We are trying to free Iraq??? Hows that going???"

It's going spectacularly well, in fact. Iraq is now a pro-western democracy (though still fledgling). Those people are way better off now, than they were before we stepped in. I'm not necessarily saying it was worth the price we paid, but the fact is, Iraq is the closest thing to a free democracy that there is in that region. Bush speculated the once democracy took hold in Iraq that it would "spread like pollen", and all the protests in neighboring countries seem to suggest he was exactly right on that score.
