The problem is, our track record on setting up liberal democracies, is poor.


JS, the idea that people were sovereign only came to a head during the enlightenment in 1776. The concept that you "Didn't need a King," was popularized in "Common Sense." That was only 227 years ago. Every reason for it not to work in Iraq is being printed in the press and pounded at us on TV daily.

So why do you assume that the people in the Admin are unaware of these problems?

But, this is going to be the thrust of the posts here from now on.
