ORIGINAL: fastcars1 I'm very sure that you hope we fail in Iraq. With all due respect, I don't beleive that you understand our enemy. They are not in a pigeon hole. They are widespread, and they are planning to kill us. Not hope. Hell, the idea of secular democracies isn't necessarily a bad thing. The Bush Administration has consistently shown itself to be... too unsophisticated to understand the nuances and requirements of the task. Once Bush appointed the incompetent L. Paul Bremer ( who in his own book, writes about his own unsuitability, lack of training, lack of experience and inability ) it was pretty much all over, and the region degenerated into tribal grudge matches... Which have been going on for what, 4000 years? Hussein needed to slaughter thousands to keep that shit under control. A Constitutional Republic is unable to provide the sort of animals needed to do the job of supressing that shit. Why would you believe Bush has GAINED the requisite sophistication to control the situation?
