But surely, Emmanuel, this is precisely the course Bush is embarked
upon in Iraq.

I don't see why creation of an Iraqi police force, army,
border patrol is not Iraqi interest.

Creation of an Iraqi constitution? Creation of an initial
governing council? Return of sovereignty in July? All sorts
of development and reconstruction aid? Increased security?

Just what represents "American interest" versus that of Iraq
in all of this?

I believe we're hearing anti-American argument rather than
what is best for Iraq.
