LOL. What a ludacris statement. Very hopefull wishing at best. Democracy will NEVER take hold in Iraq or Afganistan. EVER. You see in history class they tought you about something called the American Revolutionary War. Thats where a large group of people took to a land and fought for their indendance from another country.

In this instance we are like the British, not the soon to become Americans that fought Britain. So you see history has taught us that you cannot force your beliefs upon others without revolt. We did not lose the war against Britain, so what makes you think they will lose to us and all of sudden want a democratic nation. Fucking fool.
