See what happens when I completely ignore Tilted Politics? The politics creep out to
get me!

Don't you agree?

In principle, I agree completely. Problem is, the US has a
disasterous track record with regime change. What we're really good at is clobbering one dictator and installing another. Anyone who thinks that an Iraqi state run by a former tribal warlord constitues "a free Iraq", please step forward.

Didn't think so.
My prediction: Somalia all over again. We're going to have tribal oppression and possibily civil war in Iraq within five years.
