Martial law in Iraq

The situation in Iraq continues to worsen.

Iraq's interim government declared martial law on Sunday after insurgents killed 23 Iraqi policemen and set off blasts in Baghdad in a fresh show of force before a planned U.S. offensive on Falluja and Ramadi.

So much for democracy in Iraq. What, exactly, are US troops fighting for? Are soldiers dying so Iraq can have a pro-American regime? Bush will sacrifice endless lives and wealth to achieve victory over the so-called terrorists.
