>From the book Yemen and the Gulf: between geography and common interests. page 66 the future of American presence in Iraq. "what could be said in this regard is that America occupied Iraq to serve its strategic interests, undermine competition, and to remain the leader of the world for some time to come. however, its objectives were not met because of resistance and this also meant that the US cannot deliver on its missionary promises of democracy and equality and a betterment of people's lives. This means that the american project in Iraq has failed and this leads to two possibilities: 1) it will stay the course thinking that it could win militarily or 2) it will pull out meaning that America's standing worldwide will be harmed as a result of its failure in Iraq."
