most of the time I try to keep it dignified, LOL!

I was just surprised to find that little poem on this thread. It reminded me of last night, lol. : )

I think that would be wonderful......I'd love to hear their stories.

We need to remember that almost all of the time it's the leaders, not the people.

"I'm sure that freedom is here to stay in Kirkuk, and lots of papers will be published, because people here are more cultured than you would think."

Sounds right to me.

Great news to post. If newspapers and websites and SAT TV can get going, the folks in Iraq will have the tools that they can use to make a government.

I am a bit leery of our insistence of "democracy." That may not fit them. By that I mean, they have a long tradition of how they do things. One man = one vote might be a problem there.

I agree.
Perhaps some kind of rotating kingship/president and a large elected parliament.
As long as they set up a good baseline constitution, then make the politicians essentially innefective,they should be OK.

I wonder if Fox broadcasts with Arabic closed captioning.
