<< Democracy very well may not work for Arab nations.. >> Democracy would be the worst thing to happen to most Arab nations. The very first democratic vote would install a government based on Islam. So, the very first vote would destroy the democracy. The people have been brainwashed via years of sectarian schools, and they know no other way.

You, along with many others, have subconciously bought into this theory that the US is waging war against the Iraqi people. When have I ever said that? I always said the war is for the oil. Never said it was against the Iraqi people. Still, the Iraqi civilians will die in thousands if the war takes place. I did and still do say that. This is not to mean that the war is against these people, though. Just that they will suffer as a consequence of the war for oil.
