by Roland F. Hirsch - Oct. 1, 2008

The author is unaware of the great political progress that has been made in Iraq. The author has no knowledge of history, not realizing that we still have bases in Germany, Japan and South Korea, for example, decades after the end of active hostilities in those countries.
