Foreign occupation, still no general elections, no visible
movement on the souvereignty of Iraq (with the US being the main
opponent to speeding it up) etc.
I can imagine many people think the US needs some encouragement.

I would put the criteria slightly differently. I feel the way you
are putting them, essential terms as "liberty" and
"self-determination" are replaced with "schools" and "hospitals".

I consider that a bad trade.

How many times do I have to ask before you will explain what
"anti-Israel" means? I must say I am quite disappointed by your
current way "to suggest things but not actually prove anything
just plant the thought in your mind".
