yes that is what probably will happen, but , it would be nice to think that maybe, the good people of Iraq will use this gift of freedom to continue to keep said freedom. ...Mar 2010

So many good people died to make Iraq free.

Now the good people of Iraq have the ability to remain so.

Yes the islamists wish to steal this from them and impose the iron heal of islam upon them.

However it would be wonderful if the good people of Iraq used this hard earned gift to reject sharia law and the rule of the imans.
