I hope for the liberation of all oppressed peoples in the world, Mary. But as you said, the jury is still out as to whether or not the military of the right wing extremist US government is capable of liberating Iraq, or whether, as in Afghanistan, the people will remain stuck in the same place they were before--a land of lawless tribal violence, with that violent and oppressive status quo being shamelessly exploited by the militry forces of foreign invaders and occupiers.
