I'm beginning to wonder if bringing 'democracy' to a united Iraq isn't a bit of a pipedream. If we are successful in bringing democracy, then we may face the choice of backing off on democracy or accepting a government every bit as Islamicist as Iran or Afghanistan. That will be a fine kettle of fish. I know the idea has been floated before - then promptly rejected, of creating three autonomous regions. Maybe it's time to reconsider. All those countries have artificial borders. I don't see any good reason to force adherence to artificially created states. [And, of course, nothing about the issue of democracy in Iraq makes it any less likely that a plane will land on my house. Sigh!]
