It’s not just about stomping on Iran

This article from the Centre for Research on Globalisation, based in Montreal, discusses current US pressure on Iraq. In the context of history since the hapless invasion of Iraq, in 2003, in which Australia participated. I made the observation at the time that the invasion took a badly governed country and made it ungovernable. It is clear that Iraq has been able to restore some order, but little thanks to the US (or Australia). Few in Australia have of course sustained interest in Iraq and commitment of Australian forces now continuing in the Middle East has no clear legal basis though there is some minor sense of our tidying a mess of our own making, much as might a three year old. But I digress. This is worth reading.
