" it will become the largest Arab Muslim democracy in the world today."
" if they can put together a decent Government. "
Which is it? How long are you prepared to stay there waiting for this "democracy" to take hold?

Um, why do you put "democracy" in quotes? ... They will have a better election this Jan 30th than Washington state got for their Governor!!
The country WILL be a democracy. That is certain. What remains to be seen are the economic and social policies that may make Iraq the regional power, or conversely lead to slower development. That's what I meant by "decent govt", a halfway decent Government + 2nd largest oil reserves in the world = AN IMPORTANT COUNTRY.
Iraq was hugh, we blew theem all out of the water, the French, the Russians, the whole middle east, it was a coup de teat and America is holding the cards. Deal with it.
