Call me pessimistic if you like, I've been pessimistic from the start. The optimists thought this would be a cake walks, and the troops would have been home a year now.

You're discussing the current Iraq situation as executed by GB.

I'm discussing the theoretical idea of democratizing the Arab world in order to eliminate the reasons why Al Qaeda and its ilk use terrorist methods to "advance" their goals.

It's not the same thing. Its possible to attempt to democratize the Arab world without any war. Just keep the appropriate pressure up, and have a united worldwide commitment for it. If the UN weren't such a useless mess it should be one of their stated goals.
