People who have Hope, because there has been Change

What country in the Middle East is not experiencing the revolution so apparent in others? Iraq! What credit should be given to George W. Bush for staying the course; in fact, "surging" with more troops, in order to help the people of Iraq gain more security? What credit should he get for ignoring the advice of Joe Biden ("break up the country into three religious enclaves"), or Harry Reid ("The war is lost!").

How much credit should George W. Bush get for insisting that all ethnic and religious groups be involved in the process, which also meant going after all terrorists, regardless of their ethnicity or religous persuasions? The people of Iraq have seen Change, and they have Hope. Give the credit to a President who made courageous decisions, with only one focus: to protect America.
