Remember, thekingie has said we are not building a democracy there...but a democratic republic (he loves to play his semantics games)
But I'll give you 2 to 1 odds that it will never happen.."stable democracy" If it does, it won't be in our lifetimes. We keep thinking Iraq is like any other civilized western country in Europe, and it isn't. But it's very hard to get many of you to see the uniqueness of the arab middle east. It's a very complicated area that will not change with simple ideas.
