Yes, the United States is there for the long haul, China too and many others. I am curious to see if the 'Iraqis' will ever be allowed to actually govern themselves and what kind of government takes shape. I was reading that China just signed something like a 5 billion oil contract and in a sense control southern Iraq for the foreseeable future while the local landlords are kept happy with a few sheckels thrown their way every now and then. Energy, don't you know. Everyone needs it to keep their hamster collections in line. And the internet where they are closely monitored and allowed to blow their collective loads all day everyday then fall back asleep and meanwhile the mainstreets across America remain calm and tranquil. Getting sleeepy....
