Democratic alternative is risky business as we know and the other alternative is Saddam redux or three states, neither of which is desried.

Wow...no that's the truth. That's why I have been urging since before the war to encourage evolution instead of revolution.

Can't even call it a revolution, as the Iraqis sat on their hands while Saddam had his way with them. A revolution is a peoples struggle, not an outsiders meddling...unless of course it's coordinated with internal forces. I don't think Chalabi and the INC qualify as "revolutionaries" none of which had resided in Iraq for decades.

So now we have three factions battling it out for control, and ultimately 2/3 of the people will feel left out of the process...no matter who gets power.

Yep...stepped into a size 11 bucket full of shit with a size 12 boot.
