Thats the problem.

I totally agree that a free democratic Iraq would be wonderful. Trouble is how do you realistically get there?

Bush has gone in, half cocked, guns blazing and caused a lot of collateral damage. Personally I doubt many Iraqi give the US military the benefit of the doubt the way a lot of Americans do. I'm quite sure you have some very serious resentment towards the USA in Iraq.

The country is now totally destabilized. The only possible solution is to get the rest of the world involved - but it's such a mess.

Prediction: The US is trapped in Iraq unless saved by the Europeans.

Re: They would be much better off in setting up an iraqi parliament than anything else. I think there's more hope in that than having Presidential elections like the US.

That is precisely what the proposed January 30 election is all about. Neither Iraqis nor Americans have been well informed as to the fact that no President is to be elected in Iraq in the upcoming election.

Here's what's to be decided in the elections:

"The election to choose a national assembly, a regional parliament for the Kurdish north and 18 provincial councils will be the first free and multi-party poll in decades."
