“the crowd is easy to convince, thanks to widespread ignorance; sentimental rhetoric is more attractive to them than facts, numbers, and science.”
Sounds just like the Democratic Party!
The Iraqi’s have picked up on this democracy thingie much faster then I thought they would. Or at least the politicians have.
The Status of Forces agreement will settle the issue once and for all, or at least the next few election cycles, whichever comes first.
If Iraq rejects the SFA, the USA will be gone so fast your head will spin. That would be a good result for both sides of the issue here in the States.
I think a few months later, you would have an Iranian Armored Division visit Baghdad but that would be a different issue, one for the Iraqi’s to work out with Iran.
In another 5 to 10 years, the Iraqi military could be built up to the point where there would be no possibility of neighboors dropping by for a little rapine and pillage.
