It is now time for Iraqis to take control of thier own future and be the first building block of a new era of countries that put thier people over thier politics. The U.S must now let the people determine thier own fate. This must be done primarily to show the world that the U.S is genuine about just wanting to free the people. If they do prove to be honourable(even though thier foreign policy up until now has been selfish and destructive), the world can hold out hope that we all may live with love for each other, the way God meant it to be.
