    It doesn't make a hoot what the results of Iraq's election is. As soon as we leave, the sooner the better, they will return to their history and culture. The ONLY way any of these countries will resolve their problems is by their OWN PEOPLE changing it! We are just kidding ourselves to think that WE will change anything!
