The Gazette Editorial notes Iraq completes a major step by transferring sovereignty but warns violence and U.S. involvement will continue. It argues the move signals progress yet does not end upheaval, and stresses continued coalition security, political review, and support for Iraqis as they govern themselves.
Letters from Warren Johnson of Iowa City and Robin Romelton of Decorah critique U.S. policy on hunger, Iraq, and 9/11. They question leadership, caution against military entanglements, and urge action before oil runs out, referencing The New Pearl Harbor and future elections.
A veteran observer decries US and Iraqi misjudgments after 15 months of conflict. He cites failed postwar planning, abandonment of Iraqi forces, widespread corruption, and looting that fed insurgency. He argues Petraeus could have steadied Mosul but Baghdad was mishandled and occupation harmed Iraq.
