Michael,
A democratic iraq is probably wishful thinking. A "better" iraq is realistic to expect post saddam. Lets not forget to go step by step. Lets get the building blocks in place before we hold elections. And lets get their oil flowing and economy rolling first. Mike@cynicalrealist.com

Michael, what I meant by "tipping point" is what it takes for me to agree to a pre-emptive attack on another sovereign nation.

The lack of democracy isn't sufficient.
