Iraq a Sovereign Nation?

Today 31 August, Juche 99 marks the last day of active U.S. imperialist involvement in the Republic of Iraq. As of 21:00 Baghdad time today, the last official U.S. troops had left the American colony. The U.S. imperialist army will maintain troop strength of 50.000 for a few years, until the government is more stable. Until this happens of course, Iraq will still be an American colony.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has hailed today as sovereignty day. Of course this is not true. The Iraqi people are only free from aggressive actions committed by the U.S. imperialists. The Iraqi people are certainly no freer today than they were during the rule of President Saddam Hussein. As a matter of fact many people in Iraq would prefer to go back to a Ba’athist government. The tomb of former president Hussein has become a pilgrimage site for many Iraqis who are feeling nostalgia for the better times. Until all imperialist forces are withdrawn and the American puppet government is overthrown, Iraq will not be a sovereign nation.
At least after 7 years of an illegal war the United States is finally withdrawing from the worst military conflict it created since the Vietnam War. Although the majority of international leaders including members of the U.S. imperialist government have admitted its illegality, the criminals who caused this mess have not been brought to justice. The members of the Bush and Obama administrations who have willfully murdered innocent Iraqis deserve to be brought to justice. I also believe that the Iraqi collaborationists should have the same fate.
The thought that I have is how long will it take until Iraq is truly liberated and has a government of their choice? I do believe that violence will continue to get worse especially now that the United States will no longer involve itself in combat operations. Of course this is not true. The U.S. is still forced to provide air cover for any Iraqi security forces missions. The Iraqi forces still do not have enough air support to conduct missions on their own and are forced to rely on American planes and helicopters.
