Iraq Bomb Blasts
This is a dreadful reminder that the story of this tragedy is far from over and that great instability remains in this fractured state. It proves once more, if proof were needed, that the concept of liberation by invasion from a foreign power is wholly flawed. Under Saddam Hussein things were not good, although there were times when we thought of him as an ally. Some things are better now, but sadly a good deal is worse. The questions are when the Americans leave will the whole thing break apart into three states, or implode into civil war, or will an iron man emerge to impose order with an iron fist so that we are back to square one?
Or will democracy take root, people agree to unite in disagreement and everything move forward according to the dream?
