5. Well but there ya got problems...
First off, it just ain't our business what forms of government other nations have.

Then there's the wee problem that the Iraqis never wanted our democracy in the first place.

Add to that is the problem that the vast majority of Americans (last poll I saw on the subject was almost 80%) don't want our troops being the world's cops or nation-builders.

And our troops are the worst EVER at nation-building, and are not trained for it. They SUCK at it. We've proved that often enough. :eyes:


And gee, if this was such a hugh!11! concern to bushCabal, how come NOT ONCE did they ever even TRY to speak to Hussein about being nicer to his people? And how come when Hussein offered to be nicer and try more democracy and even offered to do UN-monitored real elections did bush & Cabal totally ignroe all of that and chant WMD! WMD! WMD! MUSHROOM CLOUDS!

Then there's the REALLY BIG problem; America DOES NOT WANT DEMOCRACY in the ME.

Think about it; a democratic nation would choose a government that represents the people...the vast majority of people in the ME (and a lot of the rest of the world) HATE OUR GUTS. So GUESS what governments the people would choose.

America doesn't want democracies; they want PRO-AMERICAN.
