Iraqis Must Liberate Themselves
inally, someone who says it succinctly. Tom Friedman of the New York Times:
"We cannot liberate Iraq, and never could. Only Iraqis can liberate themselves, by first forging a social contract for sharing power and then having the will to go out and defend that compact against the minorities who will try to resist it. Elections are necessary for that process to unfold, but not sufficient. There has to be the will - among Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds - to forge that equitable social contract and then fight for it."
*** May I say that I have not thoroughly enjoyed serving with humans? I find their illogic and foolish emotions a constant irritant. Mr. Spock
