As far as I've been saying ... maybe you too, but certainly not the Bush Administration. They have always put 100% of success into first Chalabi and now al-Maliki. I think my first emails about the subject said that democracy was started local and it was my original reason why we shouldn't have gone in: we can't fix them - they need to fix themselves but they haven't wanted to for 1500 years. Therefore we'd essentially be putting our military under Iraqi control - and so we have. So what know, and Bush didn't, is that democracy always starts from the ground up. What's new here is how the government in the Middle East flows from that as compared to here. And what that shows us is that we have no fecking idea what the feck we're doing. Not a great way to lead a "war". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:258343 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
