Handover of power in Iraq
Jun. 28th, 2004 06:46 pmSo it's finally happened, 2 days earlier than expected.
Well, this opens up a whole new kettle of fish. Questions that should be asked (among others):
- what kind of influence will the US still have in Iraq?
- will they (the US) be able to maintain law and order, given the fact that the Iraqi military and police force are not at that level yet, and also given the increasing anti-US violence?
- what does this bode for the geopolitical situation and future of the Middle-East?
