You mean "sovereign nation" And it was a Sovereign Nation before we waged war against it.

I would have thought it was more of a dictatorship. : a form of government in which the ruler is an absolute dictator (not restricted by a constitution or laws or opposition etc.)

That was the exact wording on MSNBC TV this morning. I should know to never trust a journalist.

No, "power" has been transfered, they are far from autonomous and far from self-governing.

Is that ever the truth. I don't even know why they go through these "ceremonies", perhaps to try and involve NATO in the process. That is a good thing, but we know, as Americans we will foot this bill for many years to come.
