BTW kabar.

When you take a country and defeat them, you take the reigns of power to let things cool,but you start a parallel government as a democracy and gradually release power as they can handle it.

Since Korea, every thing we do turns to crap. Everything Israel has don turned to crap.

You don’t let a country you defeated dictate the rules to you. Israel ended up with Hamas in power in Gaza. The US allowed a Sunni to run Iraq, replacing a Sunni (saddam) with another Sunni minority government. It’s no wonder we could not get a agreement for status of forces. We were there to protect the Shia from the Sunni, as far as internal stuff. That left them ripe to pick by a Shia revolutionist.

Same things in Afghanistan..Libya.It’s all blowing up.

All for nothing.

We had military governments in Japan and West Germany. In fact, Berlin remained under the control of the allies until the wall came down. The Germans used to reimburse us (Americans, British, and French) the costs for our troops and diplomatic personnel.

Allawi was a Shi'a,; Ibrahim al-Jaafari was a Shi'a, and Nouri al-Maliki is a Shi'a. All the replacements for Saddam were Shi'a.
