I wonder if there was going to be an attack on the 30th.I bet there are some po'ed terroist.I just wish we could have loaded all the US men and women on a plane and brought them home too.

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.)

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

i'm sure they would be further along, if it weren't for all the car bombs, kidnappings and beheadings.
