I'm always hearing people say 'I don't understand why we're in Iraq.'

President Bush put it very succinctly today:

"We fight for the possibility that decent men and women across the broader Middle East can realize their destiny -- and raise up societies based on freedom and justice and personal dignity."

All good Liberals should support the cause. Otherwise I'd accuse them of being hypocrites.

Bush also hit back at the suggestion by some Democrats that Iraqi PM Maliki should resign.

"Prime Minister Maliki is a good guy, a good man with a difficult job, and I support him. And it's not up to politicians in Washington, D.C. to say whether he will remain in his position -- that is up to the Iraqi people who now live in a democracy, and not a dictatorship."

Exactly. American soldiers died, and still are dying, bringing the opportunity for democracy in Iraq.
