I hope that we can see a sustained, genuine effort at rebuilding, not just a token effort for the cameras.

I hope that Iraq really does get democracy, and that the guy put into power is not some equally horrendous maniac who we won't say boo about because he's under our control.

I hope that America does some HARDCORE fence-mending in the months to come.

I hope all this goes smoothy with minimal loss of life. I hope the Iraqi people get a government they deserve and that works. I just wish the best for all parties involved and for a quick and just resolution.

I hope the United States does not install a puppet regime and they do not put a pricetag on 'freedom' and 'democracy' by negotiating for stranglehold contracts for oil.

In the words of Tony Blair " We can put all funds made from the Iraqi oil into a trust-fund simply by UN mandate and no one can touch it except the people of Iraq. " Lets hope this does happen.

Nice thread, Burke. Seriously.

I just want this to all be over as soon as possible, and that it isn't all in vain.

I hope the anti-war movement learns to make better signs. If they put just a tad bit more effort into them, I might take them a little bit more seriously than I do now.

The Iraqis are a tough people. They've survived decades under Saddam's regime and if the damage is kept to a minimum rebuilding the infrastructure could proceed quickly. With the sanctions removed they'll be able to reestablish commercial ties and with other nations and use their oil wealth to rebuild the country. The Iraqis are also a very well educated and modern people. Given a couple years of unification and restructuring and they should be able to rejoin the community of nations. They have every reason to hope.

To all posting in this thread,

Nick and Mikah have asked that all linked pictures, either current or future, come from personal webspace or they must be rendered as hyperlinks. These are the only two options.

I have edited my posts accordingly.

More hope later...
