	President Bush & Iraq
		In a prototypically liberal analysis, E.J. Dionne argues that President Bush doesn't have the kind of "silent majority" that was invoked by President Nixon as a rebuttal to Vietnam protesters.
		There are legitimate criticisms of the president's execution of the war in Iraq, from insufficient boots on the ground to the complete lack of understanding of the post-invasion landscape.
		But the goal in Iraq, which is an integral part of our effort to at once degrade the Islamic extremists and to allow the chances for democratic rule in the Middle East to take root, are equally vital in our global effort to combat the extremists who are intent upon the destruction of the West.

	whom you elect as president of Iraq
		To be honest whoever the president is his job is just ceremonial, there is a prime minister and there is a parliment but whoever sits in parliment will also back his/her own faction so that you have a situation where the kurds and shiites have formed a coalition and ultimately control the parliment.
		Iraq is in fact 3 different countries with different allegiences, they may say and feel iraqi but first and foremost they are sunni or shiite or kurd if that were not the case then we would not be having this debate, we would all be happier as iraqi's than kurd or shiite or sunni.
		The only way iraq will work is if it is run as three countries, total autonomy so that decisions can be made solely for the people they represent and not have laws which may offend half the population.

		The letter writer unravels her case for pursuit of "a path of peace, not war" when she hurls ridiculous accusations at President Bush.
		Reasonable people do not believe that the United States will attack Iraq in an attempt to "control the world oil market," nor would the results of the recent election indicate that the Bush administration represents the "special interests of oil" but rather the majority of Americans.

	President's Visit: Iraq for Iraqis
		To some of the public, the Iraq war again seems to be going the way President Bush described it in his dramatic visit to Baghdad.
		A militant leader's death, the belated formation of a new government and a bit of cheering for the troops all bear a semblance to progress.
		The recent events in Iraq can be measured as progress mainly in light of the chaos created by the early decisions to tolerate civil disorder, disband the Iraqi military and take a slow road toward democratic government.

		The vote was largely a formality and the role largely ceremonial, but the selection of a Kurdish president was a poignant, symbolic moment for a country where Kurds were persecuted under Saddam's Sunni Arab regime.
		Along with Talabani, two deputy presidents were chosen by the assembly: Shiite Arab Adel Abdul Mahdi, a member of the United Iraqi Alliance who served as interim finance minister, and Sunni Arab Sheikh Ghazi al-Yawar, who served as the previous interim president.
		The first duty of the three, who comprise what is called the presidency council, is to name a prime minister and a Cabinet, a choice that would have to be approved by the transitional assembly.
