Unfortunately no, we're back to a worse position than when it started.

If they truly want peace, they want this to end as much as we do.  You would think.

Errrrr....No.
They want talks, but with the "puppet master" not just the "puppet".
They just got it.
They want talks but without the preconditions on al-qaida.
They just got it.
They want something they didn't have before the invasion.
This office is their first step in getting the international diplomatic recognition they never had.

I think Iraq should've been better dealt with in 1991 instead of now. If we had gotten Saddam out of there in '91 I think things would have gone differently in 2002-05.

Iraq would be the same result if it was done in '91.
What was really dumb was the sheer stupidity getting the same obvious result at a time when they should have been working full out in Afghanistan.
