Leave alone who put all these responsibilities on your already busy shoulders and have you ever had any plans to project in Iraq.
It's merely a euphemism. Look around the world where America has done the things I laid out (Japan and Germany to start) and your "thank you"s will sincerely echo those we've heard from nations we've "owned" in the past. Better yet, you'll have a stable Iraq as a neighbor; what's not to like?

Although I can see why your current leadership would fear such a development.

We're strange occupiers. We dump resources in rather than haul them out.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
