re: If 10 years from now, Iraq is a thriving Democracy, will you admit you were wrong? Wrong about what? That the gamble was worth the sacrifice... no, I won't be wrong. Or wrong about my predictions for Iraq... yes I would admit that I was wrong. re: they opened a Pandora's box of democracy and freedom in the Middle East that will sweep the region within 20 years time Pandora's Box is exactly the right term; you should have looked up the definition before you used it: Pan·do·ra's box (pan-dôr'?z, -dor'-) n. A source of many unforeseen troubles: “Reform is a Pandora's box; opening up the system can lead to a loss of economic and political control” (Russell Watson). Only through extreme rose colored glasses could anyone not see the disaster that is Iraq, what the future holds for Iraq, and the harm that the policy has done to this country. Get a grip on reality.
