however, in iraq, the government seems to be expert in just sectarian concerns alone and nothing else. so the point remains, are we empowering a government that will only prove to be a curse upon its own citizens? if we do, we betray the iraqis whom have helped us as much, if not more, than if we abandoned them to their own devices.

You know, you seem to think it's all so dam' easy, putting together, in only three years, the perfection and competence and problem-solving that NO society EVER has been able to achieve, let alone while beset by all that Iraq has to deal with.
You have no sense of perspective, chief, NONE. You are simply not dealing with any concept of the reality of what it is that you are demanding that the GoI live up to, and I may have to revise my opinion of your intellect. Can you get your head around this ONE CONCEPT: perfection cannot come overnight to a nation riven by factionalism, neighboring states that pose a deadly menace, a rotten infrastructure that has been robbed blind by a thug mis-rule for 35 years, AND the constant attack of half-wits that think it should've all been running like a German train schedule a year ago? DO you GET any of that?
Here's a concept: stop investing your ego, time, and intellect in FAILURE, and get on-side so you can do something semi-constructive? HUH? Think MAYBE you could try some positve mental attitude for ONCE, stop being an Internet Message Board gadfly and see if you can do just a LITTLE good for the Cause?
Or would you rather be right?
Disgusting. On a day like this, I wish you could be something better than just another loser trying as hard as you can to make ALL of us lose. Go away.
