I'm not kidding myself. And you're right, the notion of us running in and installing a democracy in a place where democracy isn't cool is a bit much. And they aren't our friends, and won't be during our lifetimes. Remember when we helped Afghanistan purge Russian troops. The US got no credit for that. They just gave Allah the credit. Same thing will happen with Iraq. RE:"However, when these people are freed from the grips of tyranny, they will react in the same way that the Kuwaitis did when we liberated them. We will still have done a good thing and the Iraqi people will still know it." Nah, they will just credit Allah and still see the presence of the infidels as a bad thing. Jim
