Wow! You're making way, way, way too damn much sense this early in the morning. LOL.

While I agree with your EXCELLENT analysis . . . not that it does any good to the leftist liberals . . . I try to always remind my fellow Americans what was entailed in our own struggle for independence.

Reasonable folks can disagree about when our own struggle started but most agree it started in 1764 -- when the Sugar Act was passed by the English Parliament to pay for the French and Indian War.

We all know we declared our Independence in 1776 but how many know our own Military Officers nearly rebelled against the authority of Congress in 1783 because of financial promises not kept . . . only to be dissuaded by George Washington?

Or that Rhode Island voted AGAINST the Constitution? Seems Senator Chafee's RINO roots go back a long ways, huh? LOL.

Or that the Constitution wasn't ruled to be "in effect" until 1788?

Or that George Washington wasn't sworn in as our First President until April 30, 1789?

And that we had another little tussle with Great Britain in 1812?

So . . . from AT LEAST 1764 to 1812 . . . we struggled for our own Independence. If my math is correct, that's 48 years. Yet we're now impatient with the Iraqis who have lived under tyranny for hundreds of years.

It's going to be a long time. I think you need to also factor in the cultural resistance of the Arab world to moving towards a different kind of society where people are less controlled and put down...of course in that time our society could revert to that..

Lets also remember it wasn't until 1920 that women were allowed to vote in federal elections.
