Who's behind these mullahs?
Reader comment on item: A Strongman for Iraq?
Submitted by D Weiss (United States), Apr 28, 2003 at 21:48
The U.S.' decision to declare the war over should be separate from its decisions about the political solutions.These should not begin until Saddam Hussein and the rest are accounted for and the U.S.. has resolved all issues regarding the Iraqis' WMD programs.
