We invaded Iraq -- not exactly a sign of respect for their national sovereignty. Iraqis have a greater ability to determine their own future today than they did before the invasion.

And there is no indication that we are willing to "negotiate" permanent bases -- and that goes for Afghanistan as well. There is no indication that we would impose permanent bases by force if the host governments rejected the idea. Tim
