Quote:So do you believe that the US, or anyone else --- excluding, perhaps, Iran, the Kurds, the fundamentalist Shiite Islamicists in Iraq, and Islamic terrorists all over the world --- have been helped by the US invasion of Iraq?As of today, things look pretty rough. Things looked pretty rough in Valley Forge in 1777. The chance to lose badly is still present, as is the chance for success. How that success is measured is still a bit of a mystery to me. The folks in Iraqi have the mob rule part of democracy down pat.
The question remains: can they figure out the rest in the short term, long term, or ever?
At this time, that is an unknown. By Jan, 2009? Also unknown.
