"a democracy of Iraqis' choosing"

So let them choose and the truth is that you would get a three state solution and civil strife within the three and potential conflict between the three. I think the kurds can take care of themselves and the shiaa with iranian help can survive with an iraqi form of a shiaa islamic state which aint great for us but it is not al quaeda either. The triangle will be one hell of a problem in that scenario. Mike

It may not be "a democracy of Iraqis' choosing" right now (though the new Iraqi gov't is transitional) but it is representational, subject to the rule of law and will become more democratic in form over time. That is a big improvement over the previous form of "government." And unique in the Middle Eastern Arab world, which has no democracies or republics at all.
