Very good article, I would only assume that when this Libia thing is done if Iraq would want to keep control they would have to RV in order to have some weight to throw around to stay ahead of the game this time...

Leadership of the Arab League. That's a big step even if they did acquire it by default. Anything that improves their standing in the Arab community bodes well for them and us. Thanks for the post teedoffed.

"Iraq, with a democracy imposed by American force, is still a volatile tableau from which to draw lessons about how to establish a democracy in the Middle East. Insurgent attacks occur daily. Its prime minister, Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, has raised alarms recently with moves to consolidate power over the judiciary and the security forces. Transparency International ranked Iraq as the fourth most corrupt country in the world last year, just ahead of Afghanistan, Myanmar and Somalia. Iraq is still more violent for civilians than Afghanistan, and American soldiers still die here, as one did Sunday from a roadside bomb in the south."

Not a great group to be associated with.

This is good news in relation to the RV. You can bet your bottom dinar that Iraq will want a valuable currency to back up their new found responsibilites.
