Freedom is messy. They are not under Saddam's thumb. They are electing their own government, writing their own Constitution, have an independent judiciary...they
are free.
They have many enemies within and without. They are most afraid of our leaving before they have independent elections and can stand against their neighbors. Please at least read the link to the atrocities Saddam committed on these people.
Six months is a very short time. They hope to hold elections by next year. The CPA is not a "Nanny" - far from it. They're forcing fast reform.

Hey you don't have to convince me of Saddam's evil. As I said, there is not question the Iraqis are better off immeasurably.

It's mostly copied from the CPA report. Please use it if you can, and you'd rather.
