I have been reading for months and months now that one of the BIG problems with the Iraq debacle, and why we "shouldn't" bring home the troops, is that "Iraq won't step up to the plate" and run its own country, and solve its own problems.
Now, with this Blackwater incident, Iraq has, indeed, stepped up to the plate and made an independent decision. They say Blackwater will not be allowed to operate anywhere in Iraq.
Will America respect their decision?
"An Interior Ministry spokesman, Brig. Gen. Abdul Kareem Khalaf, said, "We have revoked Blackwater's license to operate in Iraq. As of now they are not allowed to operate anywhere in the Republic of Iraq. The investigation is ongoing, and all those responsible for Sunday's killing will be referred to Iraqi justice."
