The day after Afghanistan's president addressed the Wilson Center, Iraqi President Jalal Talabani came to discuss the political and economic benefits of Saddam Hussein's ouster and his country's journey toward democracy.
"Every Iraqi who wants to live in dignity has benefited from liberation," said Talabani. "Iraq is no longer the property of a gang that ruled by fear and oppression."
