The Power Transfer
So the Iraqis now have power in Iraq. The transfer of power came two days early, in order to thwart the terrorists who would undoubtedly try to coordinate some attacks and "make a statement."
The situation in Iraq is still not perfect in my opinion. However, I want to hear from you guys on this one.
Was it a good idea to transfer power two days early? Was it a good idea to transfer power at all before Iraq can be reconstructed? Can Iraq succeed, or will it flounder in radical Islam?
What do you think?

Well, I don't think 2 days make so much of a difference in the "big scheme" of things. I'm thinkin' it was a safety issue.
I hope, though, that the USA will continue to support Iraq in getting back on it's feet. I think if we support instead of run (we can't run things well when we have red tape everywhere), we'll be much more helpful. People in Iraq know what's good for them, and I hope that we'll be able to help improve their stanard of living.
I think what I'm most concerned about is getting turned on. They are surrounded by nations who fundamentally hate us (but love our money). It will be very very hard to resist what "everyone else" is saying.
Of course, I also hope that, if they do decide to go against us, that's it for a good reason. The USA can do some freakin' stupid things, and I hope that Iraq can show it's elder how to do things right.
I hope anyway.
Well, there's so much uncertainity! And you can never tell how this type of thing will work out... So I guess we'll just have to wait, pray, and see what happens.
I think it was a good idea for the Iraqi's to take care of they're country as soon as possible. I think they will do well if they control it themselves and not NATO.
DPO,
How did I know you were going to say that? :P
