I believe the Iraqs should have the governance that Iraqis want.
It may be a democracy, it may be socialism, who knows. But wouldn't you agree that an underlying fact of democracy is the ability to chose ones own destiny? And if they chose other than a democracy, then we would be obligated to respect that decision.
I personally would hope they want a democracy, and it would in fact succeed. But I am not there, I am not an Iraqi, and thus I cannot speak on their behalf.
I see no flaw in that line of thought, allowing Iraqi's to decide for themselves. Having a form of goverment forced apon you may not be best for anyone, either recipient or transgressor, especially if it not what the populace wants.
Nor can you.
I think you see everyone as green with envy over Nikes and 42" plasma t.v.'s, mortgages, credit cards, lawn care fertalizer, GMC suburbans and sunday afternoon football with a steak & a beer. Some don't want that, and no matter how hard you want them to want it, they simply will not conform to our behaviour.
The sickest thing I thought of this morning...what if they elect Sadaam Hussain in the January election? Wouldn't that just be the sickest fucking thing ever?
