Retired United states Army Lieutenant General Jay M. Garner (private mercenary), assumes his post as Director of the Office for Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance of Iraq. This begins the U.s.’ 22nd attempt at nation building.
NOTE: While “nation-building is a laudable goal, Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution for the united States says that “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government”; it does NOT state that “The United States shall guarantee to every nation on this planet a Republican Form of Government” [emphasis added].
