The objective has to be for the Iragis to rule themselves - and the only viable structure would be a democratic one.

There are things we have to acknowledge about this process. The Iraqis have issues they have to work out. This process will take some time, and parts of it will probably not be pretty. Parts of it will take routes that are not compatible with our interests. Much of the process will be outside our control.

The test will come when things we don't like start happening in the new democracy. Will we let democracy take its often awkward course, even if that course doesn't suit us, or will we step in and try to impose a government that will serve our interests?

We will see.
