Whether it is a sound strategy will depend on how well the interests of Iraq merge with the perceived long-term interests of the United States. We can encourage Iraqi politicians to find common ground, but ultimately they must find their own way consistent with their own political culture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10276952.post-84942590202166556372008-03-04T08:03:00.000-05:002008-03-04T08:03:00.000-05:00//...if you think my manners are atrocious, you sh...<EM>//...if you think my manners are atrocious, you should really read your own blogg, they have a very hateful and disrespectful tone ...//</EM><BR/><BR/>Examples please?LA Sunsethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00445498119590721449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10276952.post-89864712741699392222008-03-04T07:27:00.000-05:002008-03-04T07:27:00.000-05:00You can argue that al qaeda was there, but you can...You can argue that al qaeda was there, but you can't deny that it was this war that mobilized them.
