Assuming you are talking about democracy in Iraq:
If you go back in time and look at the press reports after the initial occupation of Germany, you find similar statistics and arguments. There were insurgents that caused a lot of trouble and political unrest. Their pressure caused the US people to question why we were putting our war weary soldier in harms way as well as millions of US dollars to help a nation that had intended to take over Europe.
If we leave now we recreate a Somalia or Vietnam scenario. If we stick it out and help the people overcome the few idiot insurgents that are causing the trouble, then we have the potential to follow a Japan or Germany scenario. It took the US a decade to overcome the tory factions after the revolution.
Building a strong sovereign nation in an area that has been beaten down will take time and commitment.
The military I know that have been over there say they see the people starting to take charge and the insurgents losing local fear and cover. Things are moving slowly, but they are moving. Patience and fortitude.

Yes of course
democracy can be packed in small parcels and smuggled to Iran through the 1000 Km border between Iraq and Iran. cheaper, easier, and faster.
even by mail (legal way) is cheaper and faster from Iraq

Bush is well known for his little foresight and or insight. Iran is a sovereign country and they should determine on their own how free and democratic they want to be. Bush should address these issues in the US other than wire tapping its citizens and trying to find ways to put people in cells without warrant or cause. Or does he mean to take freedom from Americans on order to hand it to those in the Middle-East?

Freedom is a tough tree to grow but easy to cut down. The roots of freedom are growing. Remember the fall of the Warsaw Pact nations and Communism in Europe and how many years it took? Real life is not a 30 minute TV show or a 2 hour Movie.

Bush says a lot of things, let's see how many have actually turned into facts...not many... As far as democracy's concerned let's not forget how the man himself got first elected....

The Israelis are going to push into the Bacha Valley in Lebanon. A huge cache of WMD's will be discovered. We are on the right path. The Islamofacists must be exterminated, IMO.

I hope democrats have someone better to represent them than you-a self-proclaimed dog. How's that working for you in your trailer park?
Did you see the news today where several terrorists were busted? They were going to blow up several planes, you probably like that idea. We don't need a pu$$y in the white house.
Freaky Islamists should be deported-are you one?
