[3] In prior years, I had taught students here in Kuwait who were National Guardsmen. They indicated that they had expected the U.S.A. to pull out by 2006. So, in Kuwait's case they seem to have been ready for a U.S. pull-out for some time.
[4] The writers for Declaration for peace say that the only apparent reason to have such a large base in Baghdad is to cause a backlash in neighboring countries and around Iraq at the U.S.'s audacity to build such a behemoth in one of the great historical cities of Islamic and Arab history.
