Bringing Democracy to Iraq

Apparently, there are negotiations between the U.S. and Iraq relative to an agreement to end the war, allow us to declare victory and leave. However, as has been true for at least the past seven years if not longer, words have whatever meaning our leaders want to ascribe to them. If this agreement is signed, we have the right to occupy fifty permanent bases, conduct military operations, arrest anybody we want, be immune from Iraq’s laws, control airspace below 29,000 feet and basically do whatever the hell we want. Of course, this is necessary for the war on terror to succeed.
