Screaming your emotion based feelings louder does not change your feelings to facts. UNLIKE you I actually know what I am talking about. Been there done that got the t shirt. Quit putting your hands over you ears and screaming "
no, no, no, no, no and actually LEARN even ONE fact about Iraq. Simply screaming your emotional based hysteria louder and louder will does NOT hide your total ignorance on this topic.

Listen ..... the last thing I want to do is get emotional over this. I know what's going on over there as well. If there is in fact real progress in planting democracy that I have not heard about ..then I'll be the forst to apologize. But from the bodies I know that are there ... the locals want what they had prior to the days the CIA gave Iraq to Sadaam. They want to worship again freely ... which ...odlly as it may seem ..includes fights with the Shia.

They couldn't give a rip about democracy .. real secular democracy anyway. They would like to vote ... but they'll vote some crazy Imam for president .... watch and see.

The U.S. will "correct" Iraqi election results and political assassinations will be the norm until a religious figure arises out of the smoke.

Maybe I'm wrong. Perhaps some miracle will occur - but whoever rises to the top in Iraq has to be one tough ombre' if he is going to stand up against Iran.
