a political framework that would provide for a reconstruction of a democratic, or at least a non-hostile state when we marched into Baghdad?

I am curious about the never-ending fascination with establishing democratic regimes. I would have thought we had enough evidence by now - Africa, Asia & Central/South America - that democratic structures foisted on societies that aren't anywhere near ready for them is a sure recipe for disaster.

This isn't aimed at you - you even added "non-hostile state" - it's just a general observation.
