Topic: Are the USA serious about wanting Iraq to handle its own security?

Also, the way he leaves Iraq will dictate his "legacy." If he leaves it as a beacon of democracy in an opressed region, the history books might mention a line or two about it. If he leaves it as a cess pool of sectarian violence and a haven for insurgency, every child in America in the next 10 years will look upon GW as the worst president in US history.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not being partisan here, I'm just calling it as I see it, which is that the ones who control the publication of historical texts (or the ones who are history majors now) are predominately liberal, according to a poll conducted by NPR (an albeit liberal yet fair media outlet IMO). My point being, is that no matter how Bush leaves Iraq and consequently the White House, he will not get a fair shake, so I would prepare accordingly if you want to teach your kids the truth if the history books' version is not to your liking.
