Next, you claim we're giving the Iraqi's democracy "against their will." Is that so? While there is a violent and vocal minority that remains opposed to US intervention, I will submit that the vast majority of the 20+ million Iraqis that survived Hussein's murderous reign are generally fairly pleased with the alternative the US has shown them.
Seeing as how most of Iraq is inhabited by Shi'ites. (69%) A fundamentalist people who follow their clerics rigidly, I can tell you that isn't the case.

These people, the majority, want an islamic state on the level of Iran. That is far from a democracy.
