I f your answer is yes, then you shouldn't oppose the Iraqis running their own country as they see fit, even if it's not at all the way you or I want to live. Right?

As I discussed the other day, Zakaria's new book carefully explains why a liberal democracy is the important goal. A liberal democracy is one which stresses individual liberty. The most obvious deficit we find in your example is that 1/2/ of the population has no liberty -- the women. No, this is not what I want...is it what you want?
