1. Glad to hear your suggestion calls for everyone to help. That I could agree to.
2. It is nice to think that there could be a fair election. I still don't see how we convince the people of Iraq that the US or the UN have any way of controlling what happens after the election.
It kind of reminds me of how our system works (or doesn't work) to protect children. We have a system that allows social workers to go in and protect children. But, once the social worker leaves the scene, the abuse starts up all over again. Even if you take that child away from his parents, there are no guarantees that the child will not be abused with other guardians. We cannot guarantee the safety of the people of Iraq.
3. Still, there is no way we can guarantee their safety. It's just not possible. It would be misleading for us to say that to them.
Their are two possible solutions:
a. Puppet government
b. Arm their citizens so they can defend themselves. It would be nice if people actually fought for their freedom instead of waiting for others to free them.
4. I like the idea of having some laws written into the plan. It would be difficult to decide what type of laws would work. For example, as an American, I would want the laws to be written to support democracy. However, other countries, such as Russia, would want a different type of goverment. The UN is not the best example of teamwork. It would be an ongoing fight for years.
You rock for taking thet ime to build a website and promote your idea. You are on the right track. I'm sure as you get more feedback, you'll tweek this into a solution that few can shoot holes in.
Then comes the hard part, which is getting people in power to listen.
I'll definately share your link with friends and family.
Great job!!!

With dozens, if not hundreds of armed US soldiers at every polling location, they're immediate safety would be protected for sure. It's fairly well know that the majority of Iraq hates Saddam but can't say so publically because of fear of getting murdered. If we can protect them long enough to allow the vote to take place, and another leader to take over, the problem is basically solved.
With Saddam out of power, his "regime" will be forced to listen to the new ruler. If they don't, they'll be considered a radical party. Nobody with common sense (even the people high up in the chain of command under Sadam) would stick with their current ways (knowing the US is going to demolish them) if they had a choice otherwise (they don't now, or they'll be killed).
I think with enough people agreeing on this topic (everybody I've mentioned this to does, regardless of race, beliefs, religion, sex), and we all work together to try to spread in the ideas with the goal in mind of having the US Government take this into serious consideration, this could be very effective. It's time people stopped whining "Bush is a moron" and take action! This is the perfect time, and way to do it!
