The Iraqi war has transformed the Middle East.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Certainly we've seen the enormous changes across the whole of the Middle East. The democratic genie is out of the bottle.
In peace, the Middle East, the ancient cradle of civilization, will become invigorated and transformed. Throughout its lands there will be freedom of movement of people, of ideas, of goods.
Iraq can emerge as a beacon of hope and democracy in the Middle East, and the world, with our help.
The rise of ISIS in Iraq is a wider threat to the stability of the Middle East and the West than many realise.
If you really wanted to settle down the Middle East, if what you wanted was change in the Middle East, it is perfectly obvious that the first step is resolving the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
The Middle East is more angry than ever. I'm afraid that the sort of deceit on the route to war was linked to the lack of preparation for afterwards and the chaos and suffering that continuous - so it won't go away will it?
We've gone too far in thinking we can re-create an American democratic paradise in the Middle East.
Like most Americans, I hope and wish is that there is a peaceful resolution to the Middle East conflict. Unfortunately, there are extremists on both sides who oppose a peaceful resolution and instead choose violence.
The Arab Awakening or Arab Spring has transformed the geopolitical landscape.
I don't believe in regime change, certainly not in the Middle East.
