Quotes-start.png "As long as foreign troops remain, the Iraqis will avoid responsibility for their own destiny, and the chances of holding their country together may be greater without foreign troops. It will be argued that there is a risk of Iraq becoming a base for international terrorism. But it is the American occupation of Iraq, like the Russian occupation of Afghanistan, that has become the magnet for the international jihadis." Quotes-end.png
