the problem with the US trying to help form a government in Iraq is that it won't solve 2000 year old tribal/ethnic wars.
the culture in that part of the world is still very much about controlling the block, and using it to take over the nation.
our best hope is to take out the leadership that is pissed at the US and leave the people who are just pissed at each other to fight it out amongst themselves.
would it be nice if every country in the world coudl enjoy the representitive democracy we enjoy here? YES!
do i think it is likely to happen or work anytime soon, or ever for that matter? NO!
if through all of this people start to see the glory of freedom and embrace democracy that would be great. if not, at least get the people who hate the US with such passion away from the weapons.
