What is important to keep in mind about Iraq is that, while the situation has improved, there is still so much work left to be done. At least two members of the newly elected government have declined their posts citing that they felt those in the majority were setting up a puppet government and recent reports from the front have indicated that the level of tension has been on the rise again. More than ever, the lack of any rebuilding or exit strategy is the real tragedy of this war as right now there does not seem to be any way to avoid a potential rift in the new government and perhaps, a civil war.
Take care all.
