If you'd EVER been to a damned New England Town Meeting, you would know that that is a whole lot worse than what's going on in Iraq right now...vis-a-vis democracy V. totalitarianism. Okay, nobody carries guns and shoots their opponents, but YOU are the delusional one, if you imagine that those town meetings are anything even approaching democratic rule!

The Japanese had NO history of democratic processes and a religion based on the diety of the emperor. No, their present form of government is NOT exactly like ours, but it's their form and look at how long THAT took to get up and running.

Nobody, well, I'm not, saying that what finally emerges in Iraq will be a government that is a carbon copy of what we have in America. Why don't you climb down from that pedestal and look at what is actually posted to you, instead of seeing what you imagine you see?

Cyprus has had a very long history, predating Ataturk, of waring factions of Greeks and Turks. The Greeks don't have clean hands either and Greece has been a Commie/Socialist nation since WW II.

Christianity wasn't a religion of peace either, for most of its history. I can play that game too; should you choose to really get into this and I heartily suggest that you don't.

Would you like to talk about American riots, all begun by the native born, in the 20th century? Of course, a lot of the riots in the 19th century were caused by immigrants or first generation Americans of Irish ancestry.

How long has YOUR family been in America? Yes, that IS a serious question! Why am I asking that? Because I want to know just HOW you plan to "kick out" ALL Muslims living in America, when so many of them are blacks, whose ancestry goes back many centuries of living in the USA.
