The fact that, we [as a society] find ourselves even asking such questions, says far more about our modern American society, than any quantifiable military successes or failures in Iraq! Whether such questions are being pondered due to: the outright ignorance of our average citizenry with regards to worldwide events, the ongoing failure of our Free Press to [honestly] report the news in a timely fashion [un-editorialized, to allow for their own political bias], or even an ongoing failure of our citizens to properly valuate Individual and Personal Freedom; it is readily apparent to all Real Americans, that our republic is in the most serious trouble of its [now] 200 plus years. Any one of these societal failings is dangerous but, the combined effect of all three, has the very real potential to bring the greatest of all the democracies to its knees!

There was a time in our nation, when the valuation of Freedom, an inherent respect for Human Rights and the lawful principles of Social Sovereignty also known as, The Consent To Be Governed, were held by all Americans to be of far greater value than any other [more transient] political considerations! Surprisingly, to many today, the Greatest Generation of Americans was actually given that title by the American Free Press for simply doing that, which was necessary in their effort to free our brothers in Europe; a mere two generations ago. Of course, much has changed in our society since then.

The only validity to this question is to be based upon the discernibly perceptible factors of societal peace and stability, which is [currently] existent in Iraq and yet, that is the least reliable method of making any such valuable societal determination! If we are to make such a decision, based solely upon the daily coverage of terrorist acts, then which Middle-Eastern nation is to be held up by us as the cultural standard, by which to judge, all others?

Israel, Syria, Iran, Lebanon, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, North Yemen, South Yemen, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Libya and every other Middle-Eastern nation, is rocked [daily] by car bombings and other acts of ongoing extremist terrorism! Are they all, therefore, failed political states? Or, are they [merely] to be the expected norm, in a political climate of [literally] warring ideals?

Amazingly, the democratization of Iraq has already brought about several significant benefits to the people of Iraq! Although open acts of terror still occur quite frequently in the streets
