<If the Iraqis build a constitutional democracy or republic that accommodates the needs and rights of Sunni, Shi'a, Sufi, Kurd, Assyrian, Chaldean, and secular Iraqi, etc.>

....then I will become a NeoCon.

And if we end up providing for Iraq, as little democracy as we did in Kuwait, and as little prosperity/stability as we did in Afghanistan, will the NeoCons admit they were wrong? Or will they just say, "we didn't use enough Force; we weren't Resolute enough"?
