Yeah your right they have had 3 years is plenty of time for their nation to be just like ours. What's amazing to me is that we have been in Japan and Germany since WWII. We have been in South Korea since the Korean War. Heck we have been in Bosnia since the early Nineties. However, no one seems to want to leave there.
If anyone had told the US people that nation building was the objective and that our troops would be getting shot up 3.5 years into the process while Iraqis shot it out with one another the answer to go to Iraq would have been, No.
That's because it was a democrap who put our troops in those places.
