What's the political outlook on Iraq?

Answer 1

From which politic?

Answer 2

Despite what the news reports, coalition and Iraqi forces are working well with locals to get out the dangerous elements. Al-Sadr is slowly being marginalized. There is tangible progress. But there's still a long way to go. It took America two Revolutions and a Civil War to emerge as a great nation. Iraq will need time too. But just because it takes awhile doesn't mean it isn't a worthwhile cause. If you told FDR that he could secure a strong Middle East democracy for the blood and treasure it has already cost us, he would jump at the chance. Patience and solidarity will win against fear and terror.

Answer 3

The good guys are winning.

The Kurds are at peace
The Sunnis: Alquaeda is finished and the Baathists (Saddam's thugs) are kicking the bucket as we speak
The Shias: two major insurgent groups left, both sponsored by Iran. They are in the process of being shut down.
Congress: overwhelmed by a bunch of defeatists who can't find Iraq on a map but are eager to surrender anyway

Answer 4

Increasingly positive every day. Even Al Jazeera is now in danger form the Al Qaida and Taliban for posting good news from Iraq.

Answer 5

I read recently in the Asia Times Online that Sunni leaders and Shiite leaders have met to discuss ending the attacks upon each other and focusing instead on the prevention of U.S. military bases and the prevention of oil contracts geared to benefit U.S. corporations. If they are successful, the neocon drive for U.S. global hegemony is dead. They are beginning to realize that they were pitted against each other by the imperialist powers. Divide and conquer has long been a successful military strategy. In fact, a couple of British agents were captured dressed in Arab clothing and carrying explosive devices. They were busted out of jail by the British military. That story can be found with a little Google search.

For those who believe that blather about religious differences fueling the violence, Sunni and Shiite have long coexisted, lived next door to each other, shared each others friendship and intermarried.

Visira97,

Unfortunately, I meant to give you a thumbs-up and inadvertently hit the thumbs-down. CRAP! Sorry about that.

Answer 6

The same as it was a year ago. The surge helps slow the violence. Al-queda will regroup after getting deflated, but al-queda isn't the major problem in Iraq anyways. Nothing we are doing is decreasing the serious problem there which is incompatibility between religious groups. Nothing can be done to solve it, particularly not with guns and bombs.

Answer 7

All American soldiers or troops will die. Iraq will never make peace with the United States or President Bush! It is a shame that the President is making us pay for his mistakes. Our country will never overcome this. But,,,,, with God's help we can.... Only if you believe!

Answer 8

Youth generation needs to be led, and to involve to know the true peace, freedom, and independence.

Answer 9

Quite promising, for Iran.

Answer 10

This Veteran's Day will have special meaning.
