How can the coalition really believe in bringing democracy to Iraq?

Question

Iraq's borders were drawn arbitrarily on a map causeing a mix of ethnic cultures whose leaders have no wish to coexist happily.

With out interference there a large number of highly likely negetive outcomes.

One example:
the kurds in the north are likely to insist on an independant state. such a state is likely to result in the Kurds in Turkey wishing to join. Turkey will not like this and retaliate by either increasing its persecutution of its native kurds or invade the kurdish area of iraq.

If you aren't aware of the above or other possible issues go and look it up. One area to start is the fact that there are two main, different and opposing sects of Muslims. And three main (though now small) sects of Christianity

With so many factors suggesting that stepping straight into democracy won't work (examples can be seen elsewere in the world) Why does the coallition feel it will?

Answer 1

Some people believe that Bushie Jr is always right, and is infallible. They have a disease called 'blind obediance'.

Answer 2

Most of the countries in the world exist with arbitrarily drawn borders on a map. Our own country has very different views that vary state to state, region to region. That is part of what makes a democracy great. Not that everyone agrees on the same things.
I suggest you go to Iraq talk to the people yourselves, the PEOPLE not the insurgents and you will find most of them deeply desire peace. As well as to be free to make their own decisions in the long run. After all what would your solution be? Even under Sadama rule there were problems. He just covered up as much of his own torturing and murdering as possible. And he used chemical weapons on his own people, perhaps you consider that better than democracy??? Or people disapearing with no idea where or what happened to them? The multinational forces are still dealing with Iraqi citizens trying to find out what happened to some of the friends and relatives that disapeared in prisons, etc. Do you really consider this a alternative? If so I prompty suggest that you immediately leave for Syria or Iran on a permanent basis.
Why do you think countries like Iran and Syria are fighting so hard to keep Iraq in turmoil so they don't become free. If they didn't see democracy as a threat they wouldn't be fighting it so hard.
Think about it.

Answer 3

One does in a way wish there were a magic wand to pass over Anatolia to make Kurdistan a possibility. It would fit in so well with everybody else's idea of how things should work.
But perhaps that annoyance in Ankara is exactly why it is reasonable to think Iraq could succeed. Need to prop my feet up on an Ottoman and think about it. (Sorry, I couldn't help that last). Mustafa Kemal al-Maliki, anyone?

Answer 4

True Democracy can not exist without the seperation of Church and State....Iraq will never have a seperation of Church and State..

Answer 5

delusional thinking makes it so
