It amazes me that it is the liberals or anti-war crowd that basically seems to say Iraqis are not capable of developing and running a country. I believe they are, if given the chance which they have not had in 30 years and, given time. Couple comments : - generically labeling people as "liberal" , "anti war" is not helpful. In a democracy such as we have one is entitled to have an opinion. - Put yourself in the position of a person born 30-40 years ago in Iraq. Such a person has no idea what democracy means, having been repressed for all/most of their life. To transform Iraq even into a pseudo-democracy will take many years. One's mindset need to re-adjust. Does not happen in a month or a year or 2.
