The END of the US War in Iraq

BBC News: Reports on the US taking down the US Flag in Baghdad, Iraq, thus ending the eight year military operation in Iraq. Thus folks the US finally leaves Iraq, after 4.500 US deaths, 179 UK deaths and a reported 100,000 Iraqi deaths. The question that has to be asked folks, was it worth it, at its most basic, was it worth the death of 1 US or UK Soldier, at the end of the day Iraq is Democracy, hardly stable but a democracy, Saddam Hussein got hung in public in essence, this blog does not weep for him, got what he deserved. As to the future, that is up to Iraq, will it remain a democracy, hard call folks, it does seem that the Iraqi people have gotten in to the habit of voting, that is good, but Iraq’s neighbour Iran is on the way to becoming a nuclear armed power, might Iran invade Iraq to divert attention form this, there is a chance folks, will Iraq become just a satellite of Iran, 6/10 it might happen, Iran will have the bomb, Iraq wont, but that is the future folks, lets for the moment recall all those brave Allied Soldiers that have died, lets hope their deaths were not in vain, that would be condemnation of the Iraq War.
