Is anyone saying a theocracy in Iraq would be a good thing?

Like I said, I'll continue to discussed Iraq & Terrorism on other threads - but I don't bother playing with the Kool-aid crowd even when others see them or useful allies.

Those afraid to ask the hard questions are the true Kool Aid Drinkers.

It would be if the theocrats interpret Islamic Law in a progressive way that is 180 degrees from the way the Wahabbists do. The problem isn't Islamic Law, the problem is the interpretation of it. Just as we now see the Inquisition as a perversion of Christian Law, and we today would like to inject a little modern Christianity into the law-making process. We don't expect another Inquisition to follow from that. If a new Iraqi government interpreted Islamic Law as a progressive alternative to Iran or the Wahabbist Sect we would be better off would we not?
