Only in America: Iraq is coming apart at lightening speed, and taking America down with it

Iraq is coming apart at lightening speed now, and taking America down with it. In yet another breathtaking example of bungled American diplomacy, our proconsul there -- er, sorry, I mean ambassador -- blithely informed the Iraqis that if they wanted more American money they had to put away their silly sectarian squabbles and form a unity government. Of course, just the sheer arrogance of this statement was alone astonishing. To invade this country on the basis of lies, dismantle it using bombs, bullets and white phosphorus, and then insist that money for its restoration is contingent upon our political terms is an act of staggering self-centeredness. As the saying goes, 'Only in America'...
