The problem in Iraq is that they do not have a leader. Until someone steps up, this will be a a problem.

This guy is clueless. He needs to understand that we can make any ‘threat’ we like because we are voluntarily their for their benefit.

Makes you appreciate how ‘lucky’ we were at the founding of our country. We had many great leaders and one especially great leader (George Washington).

Hate to say it, but Iraq will never be stabilized until another brutal, ruthless dictator takes it over and suppresses all opposition.

Which is precisely Iraq's problem. We freed them. They did not free themselves. As such they have less invested in that freedom. Our leaders were intimately involved in our overthrowing England's yoke. Iraq's new leaders played little or no part in overthrowing Saddam.

Yes.

Washington was a remarkable guy. I am reading “1776” right now...we sure were lucky.

Most of them were Godly men and that makes a big difference. They had a Christian viewpoint and vision of what America could be.
