"more secular than Iran's government"

Yeah, it is so far, but what will it be in 10 years?

Did you read that report by that Ross fellow in which he said that we should just pullout now because the Iraqis don't really want to have anything to do with us?

I guess you said Iraq was an "Arab" Shia country to sort of differentiate them from Iran because that's a "Persian" Shia country.

The MAIN thing is that they're BOTH Shia and Maliki and many others from Iraq spent a LOT of time in Iran with their Shiite Brothers.

All in all I believe our invasion of Iraq will prove to be a WASTE of 20,000 lives and a TRillion dollars and will eventually lead to us being LESS safe.
