Democracy in Iraq? Not Hardly.

Democracy will take some time to be implemented in Iraq due to very practical issues.

The US is more democratic that most countries in the world. Their may be a few exceptions but not too many.

So what is the problem?

Bush says he wants a Democracy in Iraq, but that is not truly the case. Sistani sees through this. And he is very serious about his position - wanting a direct Democracy. It's looking more and more like Sistani will get his wish. Otherwise, a civil war could very well be the next stage of this hopeless mess. The problem is, if Sistani gets his way and they do have a direct election (one man, one vote) a civil war could very well be the next stage. The Kurds are not at all happy at this moment. The Sunnis are ever vengeful. God help our troops if the Shi'ites were unleashed. It's time to get the frock outta there and admit it was a collossal mistake.

Uh, no. Of course we can't just cut and run. That's absurd. But we have to establish security and infrastructure in much more timely manner, let Iraq have their representative Democracy. They CAN have an election sooner than later without a frockin census, despite what this lying administration says. They have census data because of the oil for food program. As soon as these things come together, we should pledge to bring home the majority of our troops, although we will probably always have to have some kind of presence there. That would be possible if we did these things I mentioned. But we cannot tarry. And we cannot allow BushCo. to set Iraq's timetable by the U.S. presidential election. That's what's going on right now and it's abominable. At least Al Sistani can see through this BU# even if the American people can't seem to.
