i like that "if.... does in fact install democracy in iraq"
they are having elections and have been for some time. have a new constitution, legal system etc etc etc and you guys talk as if it's not happening and didn't happen. is it perfect? who knows. thats not really my point. its there. it wasnt before. is a dictatorship ran by a ruthless murderer being tried for numerous counts of genocide against his own people a good thing and better than an elected government and constitution??? well..... call me silly, but i kinda think it might not be. does it mean the war was a good thing? am i arguing that? no. just pointing out that significant changes are happening and more people are voting in iraq and for their future than americans do.
PD, hate Bush. Oppose the war. Thats all fine. But these things are in fact happening whether they agree or not with your arguments and general point of view on Bush or Rumsfeld or Cheny or Powell or Allah or christmas elves
