It is at a low at the moment, and after the incredibly arrogant approach of the American government five years ago, re Iraq, that should be no surprise. <BR/>(I hope it will discourage any such "coalition-of-the-willing" action in the future, except for cases of really immanent danger.) <BR/>But I'm sure there will be cases in the future where people worldwide will continue to agree that intervention can make things somewhat better, not worse. <BR/>We just shouldn't overestimate the good effects of an "act of liberation", and underestimate the bad. Iraq deserves close study, I think, and no turning away. After all, there seems to be some fragments of Iraqi public who wants to make something good of the situation (and that, once again, is not the "new" Iraqi government). What has gone wrong - in detail? And what can become better?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
