I sincerely hope that we are having success over there. While I can't say I believe that the Iraq war was a good idea, I believe that the Iraq as an ally could potentially be hugely beneficial. The better question is, can Iraq stand on it's own, as a united, soverign country? Currently I would lean towards no, because there appears to be as much internal fighting between tribes as anything else.

However, if anything good happens, you certainly won't see it in our media. Bad news sells, we all know that. It also does not support the liberal agenda of most media outlets. Sad that not reporting or slanting a story is business as usual. Personally, I simply do not trust the media.
