So you think that noone should criticize the administration? Or that only people should criticize who:

have been to iraq at least 5 times
have let at least 6 nationbuilding missions
are experts for religious questions

Sorry, but it is quite clear that something went wrong in iraq and It is important to start asking your self what exactly went wrong. The USA has repeated enough errors already. The article, in my opinion, doesn't want to give a define answer, it wants to give some points to start a discussion with.

Do you think the article is completly wrong? If so, what do you think caused the problems in iraq? or do you prefer not to learn from the errors that were made?
