So we are fighting the Sunni's and the Shiite's now.

This idea of creating a Muslim democracy in Iraq (or anywhere for that matter) sure isn't turning out too well.

I'd give this thing a few more months before it becomes obvious to everyone that no Islamic democracy is going to happen in Iraq.

We should have invaded Iraq for firing on our planes and violating the ceasefire resolutions, killed off Saddam's government and cronies, grabbed up whatever WMD's or WMD programs that existed, annhilated whatever foreign terrorists we could find and then..........gotten the hell out of there while we were still considered liberators and conquering hero's by the people.

Now a large minority of them hate us, and the majority are flat indifferent. Face it, Iraqis do not have the will to fight for the democracy we are promising them. Lets set our sights lower and get our troops out of these Iraqi hellholes...I mean cities as soon as possible.

I agree however you forgot one thing, we present a "bill" for the cost of liberating them, which they pay for in oil, lots of it

Overheard in 1780 (4 years after the declaration of independence): "This idea of creating a democracy in the American colonies (or anywhere for that matter) sure isn't turning out too well. Savannah, Charleston, and Camden have fallen, finances are a mess, food shortages, the citizens are divided, troops grumbling, facing shortages, and some mutiny, even Benedict Arnold has turned. I'd give this thing a few more months before it becomes obvious to everyone that no democracy is going to happen in America."

Now a large minority of them hate us, and the majority are flat indifferent.

And yet just a quick scan of breaking news would find a few threads down this factual refutation of your base premise:
