Does the existing Iraqi government just need more time and money in order to become viable?

Answer 1

The Iraqi government needs non-interference from the United States. Period. If they want to divide the country, so be it. The US already has a stake in Iraqi oil revenues. One hand is washing the other. Daily. What Iraq needs is the assistance of those countries who surround her in the Middle East. They do NOT need anymore US interference. We must recall that not one Iraqi, (except perhaps Chalabi) ever asked the U.S. to come in and take out Saddam. Not one. Bush, the neocons and others of his cronies decided to do what they wanted in Iraq. They lied, fooled, manipulated, and misled the entire United States and its Representatives in the House and Senate. We aren't talking about a Saudi Arabia who prior to the Persian Gulf War, gave the U.S. a blank check in order to "take care of business". We are talking about a region, beset with sectarian violence and other acts by groups unknown.
The U.S. government nor its miliitary heads have any idea of what to do to stop such acts.
But while they figure it out, bring the troops home. Perhaps by then Iraq can figure out and solve its own problems.
The people of the United States are not fools. They trusted their government, their representatives. It was a blind truth. A blind faith. Now we know better.

Answer 2

Can it ever become viable? The answer is yes and no. Yes, it can control the country but not in the way the US intended. It is so heavily dependent on the fundamentalist Shiite militias for its majority that it can never take action against them. While it cannot do that there can be no end to the sectarian violence unless it uses the methods that Saddam Hussein used to suppress dissidents. And that would make it a tyranny. And, as the fundamentalists have close links to Iran, the government would in fact be a puppet regime of the Iranian mullahs. So it can control the country which I suppose would make it viable. But it would be controlled by Iran which in a way means it is not viable.

Answer 3

It is too late. It appears that opponent have adequate resources and no regard for human lives and human values. Worst sufferers are peace loving Iraqi people. If Iraqi nation is united , foreign troops will have to leave Iraq. Now Iraq needs foreign troops badly as their own security forces have lost the war. Syria , Iran and other Muslim countries must play some role to arrest the situation. This is their religious responsibility.

Answer 4

How much time and money? Are you willing to have your grandchildren and your great grandchildren continue this fight? This has become a religious war with each sect vieing for power. All one needs to do is look at history to know that religious wars last for a long long time.

Answer 5

They are the best Scam artists in the world. Billions of American dollars have lined the pockets of the power elite in Iraq and the US government pretends that the lack of progress is due to the insurgents. You Americans are the world's biggest fools.

The Iraqi government under the leadership of Maliki is a failure and until they separate themselves from Al Sadar and kill him, they will continue to be failures, it is imperative that our Government step in and eliminate Al Sadar and Maliki!!

Answer 8

No, it needed a better plan, but it is too late for that. There is nothing that can be done for this government. This war is lost. The sooner that everyone realizes that, the better off we will all be.
