Well, that was certainly a novel experience. Yesterday, for the first time in decades, possibly even close to a century, the West did something for the good of the people of Iraq and left. Yeah, I know our troops are still there and the Iraqis now running the show are as friendly to us as Saddam once was, but we have to hope now that with the occupying force no longer quite so in evidence the people of Iraq will turn against the terrorists. However, let's just hope that Iraq doesn't get forgotten and left to rot like Afghanistan. In fact, perhaps the West should return it's attention to sorting out the mess that's it's settling of personal scores in Baghdad has allowed Afghanistan to sink into.
