> Bush wants US forces to remain there until the place is completely smashed up. The opinion of Sir Simon Jenkins: guardian.co.uk >>The wretched Iraqis must wait as their cities endure civil chaos until one warlord or another comes out on top. In the Sunni region it is conceivable that a neo-Ba'athist secularism might gain the ascendancy. In the bitterly contested Shia areas, a fierce fundamentalism is the likely outcome. As for Baghdad, it faces the awful prospect of being another Beirut. This country has been turned by two of the most powerful and civilised nations on Earth into the most hellish place on Earth. Armies claiming to bring democracy and prosperity have brought bloodshed and a misery worse than under the most ruthless modern dictator. This must be the stupidest paradox in modern history*.<< * clearly, Jenkins doesn't realize that the destruction of Iraq was the INTENDED consequence of the invasion and bringing democracy and prosperity only only the pretext.
