Seven Years after ....Occupation or Liberation??

"After seven long years. Seven very long years, the prize question remains: Was it worth it?

For America: Was it worth it? Have you achieved your aim? What was it?

For Iraqis: Was it worth it? Is what you have now worth the losses you sustained – the loved ones you lost – the security that you now long for? The sectarianism, division and fear of the other? Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?

How to assess a situation that is so very complex?

The majority of our politicians consider it a positive change – because it put them in power. Power that they are unwilling to let go of. No gracious losers here."
