I think the Iraqi people have shown extraordinary patience and courage in the last few months. They have really put a political system on the way to success, to a real democracy here.
I think there really is no shortcut to sovereignty.
I think we Americans, of all people, understand the importance of a good, legal, constitutional framework as the basis of political life.
I leave Iraq gladdened by what has been accomplished and confident your future is full of hope.
These people hate the United States, not for what we do, but for who we are and what we are.
