The United States no longer expects to see a model new democracy, a self-supporting oil industry or a society in which the majority of people are free from serious security or economic challenges, U.S. officials say.

I recall many posts exchanged with DR and Tench on this topic...

Come on, the jury is still out, regardless of what some editorial article says. Take a look at Iraq in ~2010, then see if you were right or wrong.

If the US's pre-invasion predictions of success in 6 months were completely innaccurate, the above quote could just as well be completely removed from the reality that will eventuall surface.

The key question is will whatever eventually surfaces in Iraq be better or worse than 20 more years of Saddam followed by 20 years of Uday?
