3. Of course not! But neither was Bremmer, and maybe not the
current Shrub puppet leader.

I'm sure not familiar enough with Iraq to know who would be the best leadr But people are much the same world wide. They don't like dictators, invaders, or being told what they HAVE to do.

I still believe if we would state that we came here to help you, and hope we did, but we're leaving on XX/XX/XXXX. We will train you to defend yourselves, and run your contry, but as of that date, we're gone. You need to convince enough people to join your military, police department, and government so you can make that happen by then, Iraq would be better off, and America would be better off too.

Likelhood of that happening under ShrubCo is ZERO!

5. Iraq is three seperate countries
Kurd, shite and sunni. I doubt that an ousider(US) can bring it all together.

6. Well, neither did Sadam.
He ruled the sheites and Suni's with an iron hand, and more or less ignored the Curds.

I don't think the US can do it either, but I think it should be left up to the people of Iraq. If they decide to have three seperate countries, so be it.

7. I think it might be more apparent to everyone that a heavy political
hand was needed to keep civil order. What we have done is set the table for the balkanisation of Iraq. It was artificially put together after WW2; we selected Hussein, a ruthless dictator, to run it and with no concern about democracy..just keeping the oil flowing. Now our abrupt invasion and overthrow has assured that civil war will occur.

People here predicted this very scenqario well before the invasion.
