I for one feel that things in Iraq are close to turning the corner for the better. However the political side of the equation has made little progress by comparison. It's still wait and see in my view. |
Let us not forget the contribution, or lack there of, of the Iraqis themselves. After the end of military hostilities and the establishment of a freely elected government in Iraq, some of the burden must be placed on the Iraqis. Until recently, it would seem, that responsibility was not appreciated.
