It's none of US business to decide what Iraqis will get or be. It is an occupation, not a democracy.

That's a pretty big fucking difference.

If they want religious gov, it is their business. After all, don't you have one yourself ????
And again, it is none of the US business....
Just imagine a second:
Cops come blasting in your home, guns out. They tell you, after destroying your house, that they had reliable information that you were hiding terrorists. After staying a few days in your destroyed house, they come to the conclusion that yyou have no hidden terrorists... THEY LEAVE ....
Now the US are staying.... WHY ?
