Hate to rain on the party but here's my prediction: As soon as we enforce liberty in that country, they are going to vote for sharia law, which necessarily excludes individual freedom.

How does on teach savages to be free, anyway?

Even Turkye has done the same.

on = one. Sorry about that.

I think we need to help them develop a Constitution, but that's another article altogether.

I won't disagree with you on what the Muslims will do, but I can hope that they'll at least try to be more even-handed in their government. We'll see. Personally, I have no problem with the Kurds having their own country.

And not all of them are savages, as evinced by those who helped the POWs. It won't be easy, that's for certain.

..."they are going to vote for sharia law"....

We have many laws that are similar to sharia, only we have more mercy. They are against thievery, murder, and such, they just follow thru with the "law". The Bible says an adulterer should be stoned. So many of our judges are guilty of the same crime, who would cast the first stone? We also have laws against the cruel and unusual, so cutting off hands and feet, or eye gouging are out.

One of the facinating things about this war is all the liars and thieves that are so fanatical about their religion, an infidel is not allowed in their mosque. After prayers on Friday, they steal a couch, rape a woman on it, and then lie when they got caught. This is definatly a "piece" of a religion.( Or was that a religion of peace?) They probably lie about that too.
