How can one reconcile Iraqi sovereignty after June 30 with the presence of about 130,000 American soldiers? People point to the situation in South Korea as an analogy. Some questions:

1. Are American soldiers patrolling the streets of Seoul?
2. Do car bombs claim, on the average, 10 lives a week in South Korea?
3. Do any of the South Korean ministries have American 'advisers' who control their day-to-day affairs?

I could go on, but I think the sham is pretty obvious.
