I agree, but realize that Hezbolla and other "Arab political organizations" are already at work: Scrambling to undermine the new Iraqi government before it is even formed...

As the interim government takes shape, the CIA and American military will be doing a lot of work (most of it behind the scenes) to protect the fragile government from the terrorist organizations that will seek to corrupt or even destroy it.

We won't be able to simply set up a government and then walk away...That would cause more problems than it solves...

The first goal should be to get the oil revenues away from the UN and flowing to the new government so that it has the resources and the power to repel any instigators who would attempt to undermine it.
