I'm not sure when Hezbollah started, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't last very long without the support and financing of Iran.

How do you KNOW that we didn't just trade one "tyrannical dictatorship" in Iraq for another???

Did you notice how Maliki reacted when our troops went after some guys in Kut that were supporting the Shiite Malitias. He was TICKED and said we had no business going after those guys.
But he has no problem with our arresting or killing all the Sunni "Awakening" guys that we want. If we don't do it he'll do it himself.

We've just "flipped" things. It used to be a Sunni tyrannical dictatorship, but now it will just end up being a Shiite tyrannical dictatorship.
