I think you understood my question very well. It seems to me that a lot of Iraqies and a lot of other arabs don't want to live in a democracy. It takes a long long time to change a culture. You hve to be thinking 30 years minimum in Iraq to have a chance at changing that culture. And you are up against more than just Iraqi factions. Iran and Syria are mettling. And I think I read somewhere recently where Saudi citizens were also mettling in the affairs of the Iraqies.

Afghanistan was ripe for the change. A more solid coalition was willing to risk lives and currency in that country. Afghanistan would by much further along than it is now if we put forth the necessary effort to win in that country. Come to think of it, so would Iraq.
