but now we have a huge investment not only in dollars and lives, but in presenting a showcase or demonstration of how a nation can become prosperous and make better lives for its citizens in the ME. The form of government should be as they chose But If the new leadership starts down the wrong trail, imposes oppressive laws or restrictions, excessive controls or taxes on industries, creates monopolies, or get "power mad" in their new found positions, they will find We're Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack, with advice, a soft voice, and a big stick "Showcasing" something that the people of Iraq may or may not want, is not a desirable outcome. "better lives for citizens" is for them to opine on, not us - its their life, not ours. "We'll be back" is not a good message to send at this stage.
