Two-edged sword there. What will people all over the ME think if Iraq emerges as something other than that? Situation normal? The real risks of change must be weighed against the real risks of non-change, or in the Mideast's case - near total disfunctional paralysis combined with an immense demographic boom. I approve of these goals. I'm not convinced that our actions were calculated to advance these goals Well, there's your choice, Stephen. Imperfect action or continued paralysis awaiting the great kaboom, not too far in the future. Stability isn't an option on the table, as far as I can see. The US has never run a perfect war - but then, everybody else has been worse. Iraq is being rebuilt (this unglamorous work doesn't make the papers) and the Iraqis do want their country back. And they will get it. Whether they fashion some sort of decent government or revert to strongman rule, only twt. I don't think they will get the Ba'athists back or an Islamist government in either case, because there's no local support to speak of for either.
