"They argue now that funding of pro-democracy groups won't work in the Middle East - it will"

I seriously doubt any country that embraces a totalitarian religion will embrace democracy. I don't care whether they get 99% of a vote for it...the clerics will win. They've lived under the thumb since the seventh century..they have no concept of freedom and wouldn't know how to handle it.

I never thought I'd say this, but we need to leave Iraq to whatever outcome happens. Iraq can be handled by the Iraqi's.

I disagree with you.

And so do the majority of Iraqis.

And if you knew anything about the situation, you wouldn't be saying that. You know damn good and well that once AQ wins in Iraq (and at this point they would), they'd be right back at the US in an instant. To allow that to happen would be absolutely RETARDED. Glad you aren't in charge. We'd have AQ coming out of our ears.
