Unfortunately, the Iraqi's were going to fashion their own brand of democracy filtered through Islam. We knew that from the start but thought it worth the gamble. Only time will tell, but we'd better be prepared to protect this fledgling for quite some time. Giving them a sense of pride and accomplishment as a people would help. Education, universal literacy, jobs, etc.
Sounds like what the Palestinian spokesmen in the US are already demanding of us. Of course, they reserve the right to obliterate Israel and anyone else they dislike with arms they expect us to provide.
Umm. No. Let's not. Let's pretend that we are about protecting and defending liberty, not oppression. No blood for Islamism.
