I'm fine with removing the Mullah's in Iran, but NO staying to build them an "Islamic Democracy". Go in and remove the regime as a lesson to other enemies of the United States is just fine by me. The Iranians can take over from there, though I think an awful lot of people will be disappointed to discover that perhaps a majority of Iranians are not so unhappy with exactly what they have. Ya, some of the Iranians to include college students hate the ruling clerics, but I'm not so sure that the actual majority of the population feels quite the same.

So ya, destroying the regime may be a good plan, but NO more with this fantasy that Islam is compatible with any democracy we would recognize. If the plan is to build Iran a democracy, I will absolutely oppose it.

So would the Iranians. They've had freedom and democracy before. It's not Iraq.
