To Bush helping the people of Iraq is just a side benefit of going in there... like Afghanistan. We went in there to kill Al-Quaida... and the Taliban since they refused to give up Al-Quaida. But to get even better ratings on the war suddenly it became about "freeing the Afghanis from the evil Taliban"... that would have worked, if it hadn't been so obviously clear that NO ONE cared about the Afghanis until we wanted to go in there... I mean, the Taliban had been in power doing their stuff for most of a decade...
