I don't know when they will be ready, but as soon as they are, they need to take over, kick ass and run the place for about 20 years before even thinking about allowing elections. The Iraqis are not ready. Nothing against them, it took the Filipinos, South Korea, Taiwan and even Greece a long time before they were ready for civil government. Autocratic pro-western governments were necessary while economic, educational and societal conditions were created that allowed for democracy.

You may very well be right, but we do not have the luxury of that much time.

I don't understand what you mean.
