What went wrong. Worth reading, in the NYT, three Iraqis who worked for the Americans in Iraq who have now sought political asylum in Scandinavia. Basim Mardan. Waddah Ali. Omar Ghanim Fathi: "... Now the problems of Iraq will not be solved without a long and very bloody civil war. The fragments that will emerge should practice democracy by choosing their own leaders, away from the influence of the Americans — even if those leaders are terrorists. But the people will not enjoy the democracy and liberty that was already given to them, because they refused it."
