The end of the war in Iraq was officially declared and is now history. Before that time the political mechanics to enter the war were laid down by the US Congress, The President and the ever watchful eye of The Supreme Court included the careful design of how to tell when the war had ended. This was to avoid extended engagement of US and allied troops and begin a move to a more Democratic government for Iraq. Careful consideration of the results of the war for the US, the Mideast and the countries of the UN also has to recall that it was under UN law that the need for war with Iraq was a necessity.

Iran is allowed to proceed against UN sanctions; Russia gets the major concession of our not proceeding with the Missile Defense System in Europe.
