Our soldiers in Iraq are paying for the "Peace Dividends" Bill Clinton was so proud of when he finished off the Level of the Military to its lowest since after WW2. When George H.W.Bush our current presidents father went into Kuwait to kick out Iraq He had twice the manpower for a much simpler job of removing a foreign army from a sovereign country. Now we are trying to perform modern RECONSTRUCTION with less troops than Lincoln had in 1865 and it was a failure then too.
We have this probably to look fwd to in the next year or so. Saddam get a Iraqi trial gets acquitted and then gets reelected President for life of Iraq and nothing has changed and the Iraqi's people deserve what they elect. My best guess on the outcome of the future of Iraq. If Saddam does get tried and convicted I will be pleasantly surprised
