it's a bit better now because there are a bit more troops
as soon as the troops leave, it's going to get worse again

and it will stay like that till everybody buggers off , and then they'll have to figure it out themselves, and then, eventually it's going to stabilise, one way or the other, be that a new Sadam, a democratic setup(yeah right) or an iran like setup

and it doesn't matter, because either one will have to sell the oil to get around
after all, the oil is what counts, it's not like anybody cares about the civilian loss of life(which has increased since the occupation), or the quality of life ( which definately did not increase since the occupation), or the human rights of anybody ( which probably is at a status quo since Sadam left: what good are human rights if you get either blown up by insurgents, or by a stray bomb from an F15 that had a "oops" moment )
