It's just so easy, isn't it? Keep bombing the "terrorists" and have an election. Voila! Democracy!
It just amazes me the lack of serious study and thought that goes into the opinions of the ones with the big guns. Trust me, it is Iraqis fighting over there. I know Iraqis that have been back since the war started and they all tell me the anger with which their neighbours are fighting. They fought the British and they'll fight the Americans.
Does anyone want to actually look at the socio-political history of Iraq in order to see why this mess was so easily predicted? Do you understand why it is IMPOSSIBLE to impose democracy in Iraq right now (or for the next several decades or so as well)? Where were the institutions? The constitutional liberalism? It's a joke to think this experiment will result in a free, democratic Iraq. But really, when did anyone of any influence care about a free, democratic Iraq?
