I think the jury is still out on whether invading Iraq was an accomplishment or not. For Bush personally it definitely has been, how it has benefitted the US I'm still wondering. If "freedom" is really the key of invading Iraq, then why Iraq? Why not Cuba? So a statement like "50 million people who had lived under tyrannical regimes now live in freedom" is really taken out of context if you want to say that's a proof of positive accomplishment for Bush. The fact is not all that 50 million people wanted things to change. The fact also shows that not all those 50 million people are still alive.
