Will we let Iraq fail?? The choice is ours

This is not a question of should we have invaded Iraq and toppled Saddam from power, that debate is over and the war was launched and he was. (I think that was a good thing, but again the point is now mute).

The question now is will we, the people in the West, let Iraq fail and become a failed state, or will we be willing to invest the time, energy and money to make it succeed like Europe and Japan after WW2.

Johann Hari writes in the Independent and on his own page a good article on who is more likely to want the West to fail.
