Let's hear it again, shall we?

-----Moi:
What I'm asking is why the US Military can't bring order, not democracy, simply order to a country that Saddam had brought some semblance of order to.

Tu: The answer to that question is so blindingly obvious that I honestly can't believe that you need it explained. Think about it, and if you still can't figure it out... well, if you still can't figure it out you're probably ineducable, so it would probably be a waste of time to try.

Hint: what do you think would have happened to Moqtada al Sadr and the Mahdi Army if they had tried under Saddam what they are doing now? Do you think Saddam's army would have stayed out of Sadr City in deference to Shi'a sympathies?

Moi:If you know so much, then tell me when al Sadr became a problem? What did Saddam do with the Kurds?

Tu: ___________________________ (dead silence)
