One of the many reservations I have about this war is that our troops will be stuck in Iraq for decades keeping the various political, ethnic and religious factions from killing each other.

This screed is filled with distortion, falsehoods, outright fabrications, and lies.
Will some sort of limited democracy be established in Iraq? You bet.
Will it be trouble free? Not on your life.
The logic this nitwit follows is the same logic that proves that a bumble bee could not ossibly fly. And I suppose with her criteria, we probably wouldn't have tried to establish democracy in North America.
It would have been doomed for the start.

We have today what we did not have yesterday: a lineup of countries that are indeed "making it" with regard to economic reforms, evolutionary democracy and cultural gradualism. On the list are Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Tunisia, Oman, Bahrain and several Eastern European countries. But not one of these has developed through the "shock" therapy our great leaders foresee with such blithe (and ignorant) assurance for Iraq. Japan.
Next question?

She discusses a State Dept. report. When has the State Dept. ever been right about anything?

Of course there are strong cultural problems with democratization of any arab country. But shouldn't we at least ... TRY?

But if the State Department report, produced by its prestigious Bureau of Intelligence and Research and provocatively named "Iraq, the Middle East and Change: No Dominoes," is correct, this war is truly being fought for a series of dangerous and deliberately orchestrated delusions. To Georgie Anne:
I take a dim view of the mutterings of intellectual elitists in the State Department. Who knows where their true sympathies lie (emphasis on lie)?.
I think Bush I listened to these creeps, to our ongoing discomfiture.
