Interim rule in Iraq
Reader comment on item: Defending and Advancing Freedom
Submitted by Joe Defez (United States), Nov 3, 2005 at 16:03
You said 22 months is too short a time to establish democratic rule in Iraq. If you are correct, and 22 years is more reasonable, how do you envision the rule of Iraq for those 22 years?Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes.
