What you mean shooting people isn't promoting democracy?

Iraqi "ordinary citizens" don't need the help of naive foreigners trying to explain their concept of democracy. They have their own culture which existed long before some countries were ever heard of.
Here we go with that cultural relativism again. There is not time, money nor any need whatsoever to build everything from scratch. You have educated people, you have the infrastructure, all that is needed is some technical help to speed up the process.

The experts all worked for the Baath party (or emigrated) and you need fresh blood to make people trust the government.
