Time in Iraq
Time in Iraq is on America's side. It's going to take several years to rebuild that nation. Hell, it's going to take several months or a year to get Iraq back to the level it was at in March, 2003 before the war. Our rebuilding efforts will take time months and years. It'll take four or five years just to get Iraq up to the level of development of say Jordan. Iraq's govenrment, society, economy and infrastructure have been decimated by thirty years of totalitarian govenrment. It's going to take decades to rebuild Iraq just as it will take decades to build the former Soviet Union and its colonies in Eastern Europe. This means that the longer we stay, the better off Iraq will be. It also means that our foes in IRaq don't have the time ,they have to sabotage us in the near future before things get better there. It'll take years to rebuild Iraq but I think we can do it. As long as the US government listens to the American people rather than the media that is.
