Hi Nadine Carroll; Re: "So you have concluded that the ends - Iraqi democracy - do not justify the means - eliminating Ba'athists from office and declaring the start of Iraqi democracy now? Well, that's your prerogative. I disagree. Obtaining democracy for the Iraqis, which above all means building institutions of government that are not run by thugs for thugs, as they were under Saddam, seems a pretty big end to me." The problem with your logic is that the "ends" you justify is a fantasy that we are unable to achieve. Also note that the Administration has repeatedly stated that they will not allow Iraq to become an Islamic Republic. In other words, they only support Democracy when the voting results in them winning. -- Carl
