• Asked to name one country they would most like Iraq to model its new government on from five possibilities -- neighboring, Baathist Syria; neighbor and Islamic monarchy Saudi Arabia; neighbor and Islamist republic Iran; Arab lodestar Egypt; or the U.S. --the most popular model by far was the U.S. The U.S. was preferred as a model by 37% of Iraqis selecting from those five -- more than Syria, Iran and Egypt put together. Saudi Arabia was in second place at 28%. Again, there were important demographic splits. Younger adults are especially favorable toward the U.S., and Shiites are more admiring than Sunnis. Interestingly, Iraqi Shiites, coreligionists with Iranians, do not admire Iran's Islamist government; the U.S. is six times as popular with them as a model for governance.

Since you won't look it up yourself, lazy a$$hole, here is your answer to our building and Islamic state. As I said, read it and weep.

You can only insult and point other threads (as if that carries any weight). You don’t even have the courage to debate on you own; relying on others to come to your defense.

I'll debate your sorry a$$ anyday, anywhere, anytime. The above quote from the article you won't read is defeat number one. As to courage, name the place and time, pal, and I'll be there . I only pinged the others to expose a DU troll, so all could see. I don't need their help with you.

The fact is (and it is a fact) there are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Prove it.

Oh my God, You are actually basing you argument on a poll????? And who took this poll, and who was polled? This is laughable! - You have no understanding of Middle Eastern culture. There is absolutely no chance that Iraq will establish a democracy. The second our troops leave, the country will dissolve into civil war. (Perhaps sooner). Meanwhile the US taxpayer will spend years sinking money into a bottomless pit of re-building schemes designed to keep party contributors happy and fat. The sad thing is Republicans like you will politely “bend over” and pay the price.

Prove it

There is nothing to prove. They don’t exist. You can’t prove some doesn’t exist because… it doesn’t exist. But the fact that you can’t point to any evidence, and that our government has not pointed to any evidence re-enforces the fact that WMD do not exist in Iraq.

I’ll ignore all the “tough man” talk, the boorish language and the hackney “DU troll” talk; it’s typical of those that can’t phrase an argument.
