Suffrage is a good thing...but Iraq is a severely factionalized society...the true iraq won't be clear to the world until and only after we leave...what we have today is a forced kind of peace on disparate sects who have been warring on each other for 14 centuries over religion and money...what they do after the anvil of american force is removed is up to them and totally up in the air You are full of shit if anyone is. The American forces aren't "forcing" ANYTHING on these people today -- for the most part, our troops are playing a totally background role -- which is the reason Obama is able to think about pulling troops out at this time. He knows if the security situation wasn't stable he couldn't even think about it without threatening his entire presidency. If he breaks it, he bought it. ...if history is a teacher, they start killing each other again...I hope not. Anyone who says that we know what happens next or that what we did was worth it, with 1400 years of history against the odds, is full of shit You are totally being an idiot. The news reports today are about the secularization of the country through this election. The truth of the matter is that if Iraq is a success the entire liberal philosophy of foreign policy has been proven utterly wrong so you're hoping like hell that's what happens -- even though it is totally anti-American to believe this way.
