Why is Iraq now a closed case???

The country was run by the most manaical leader of the late 20th century...It has tremendous sectarian problems...There was a war...there has been an insurrection...there will now be an election....

The point is after 2 yrs can you properly judge the transformation of such a nation from repressive authoritarian rule to liberal democracy???

5yrs, probably not.

10 yrs, perhaps.

25 yrs certainly.

Remember it took 25+ yrs for Saddam to turn Iraq into a prison state, so dont pass judgement so soon.

We have had two years to see what has been done and what hasn't. Nobody is passing final judgment, but everybody can make their own assessment on whether they think the administration has done a good or bad job to date.

As for a final judgment taking time, I agree. Not just for the reasons you cite, but also because information is usually kept secret until many years after key events.

I'm referring to the way you present your point of view. Technically, it's a mess! You obviously never give a second look to what you write, OK - if you don't mind inexplicable grammar or blatant mistakes of logical construction. But you are also placing your responses under whichever post tickles your fancy - instead of the post you're responding to!

It is fair to deduce that you are paying as much attention to the content of your posts as to their writing.

More like wailing and gnashing of teeth.
