"President Bush believes that all people yearn for freedom."
This, precisely, is the problem.
Not everyone in the world wishes to be Americans and almost no one in the Arab world does.
You started a war, hoping to transform a region that is perfectly happy to be a theocracy and has in fact been a theocracy for 1300 years.
All you have done is stirred up a hornets nest. It is amusing to me to see you claiming that the insurgency is not growing, that the Iraqis are embracing democracy, that the Iraq War has not lowered US opinion worldwide, etc, when it is obvious to even the casual observer that the opposite is true. But I guess when you emotionally, not intellectually, wedded to an idea, no amount of evidence can reason you out of it.
I disagree that it is a waste of time to discuss things like this. A vast majority of Americans supported this war three years ago and now a vast majority are opposed. Obviously something changed their minds.

As the steroids pump up the muscles, the cheap credit pumps up the bubble.
Take away the cheap credit, the bubble must shrivel like the muscles of a girly boy cut off by his steroid pusher while living too far from the Mexican border.
How far can designer body modification analogies be stretched to explain past economic modifications of all girly boy market interventionists?
As credit is cut off, will girly boy financial geniuses lose their financial powers and be reduced to pumped up wannabes with sand kicked in their faces?
At the end of the “correctionâ€, will the housing market/girly boys be:
10% cheaper/smaller? 20% cheaper/smaller? 30% cheaper/smaller? 40% cheaper/smaller? 50% cheaper/smaller? God help us, even cheaper or smaller than that?
NO, I tell you, this spring prices will be at an all time high and they will PUMP YOU UP UP UP!
True or not? Offended or not?
