"You are aware of how many young people in the vital 18-34 age group demographic are RP supporters?"

Only the ones that need rehab and are so stoned they're unable to realize our troops are actually succeeding in Iraq.

Sadly your promoting a group that has hijacked the Libertarian party making it sound more like George Soros than the principles of most Conservative Republicans.

Military success isn't in question. They have never had the ability to challenge us militarily.

It's not the same as establishing a functioning democracy with broad human rights. The prospect of that is little improved. It's sad because you can only feel sorry for the ordinary people of Iraq. First Saddam, then the fighting between Shi'a and Sunni inflamed by the Saudis and other outsiders, and now even as most of the outsiders and militias are restrained, the prospects for prosperity aren't really that much improved.

I think the idea that Islam is compatible with democracy and human rights is much overrated.
