Dianavan,

I think the first part of it went quicker and easier than everybody though it would. The second part was always going to take time and be much harder. The political advancement has, by and large, kept on track with regard to timetable - by the end of the year the first democratically elected Government of Iraq will be in place.

You on the other hand would have preferred to see Saddam Hussein still in power - You're joking, right?
