OK...I see some of your points, but doesn't it strike you as strange that on the one hand, people worldwide are screaming for the US to get out of Iraq NOW (including American politicians), and on the other hand Americans ignoring this and going forth and planning for what looks to be long-term presence in Iraq? In that case, why the rush to bring home the troops for example?
Regarding your German bases comparison, are you saying that we have good things to look forward to in Iraq, vis a vis what the Marshall Plan did for Germany? I have doubts. Or maybe at the very least, the Americans are committed to making an ally out of Iraq at all costs? The rhetoric here in America, and the reality on the ground in Iraq seem completely at odds...or am I missing the obvious? Yet, nothing *seems* obvious...it all seems "between the lines".
