The "Day After" in Iraq: Lessons from Afghanistan

www.fpif.org/papers/iraqrebuild2003.html

Interesting read. Lets hope the lessons have been learned. In this respect, I sincerely DO hope it is all about oil, because the US and the international community will then have a vested interest in making long term monetary, humanitarian, and military committments to Iraq. Unlike in Afghanistan, which has little to nothing to maintain international attention.

Lesson #1 from September 11th:

• Leaving terrorist organizations unchecked is very dangerous.

Sure, let's play the circle game:

Giving terrorists a rationale to attack you is shortsighted. Although, it does provide one with the best possible excuse to go on a worldwide headhunting expedition. And once that program has been embarked on it can be extended to bring into play an agenda that's been waiting a decade in the shadows.

Are you implying the US created Islamic fundamentalists and terrorism?
