What then? Do we force them to adopt it anyway? If so, please explain how this fits in with our idea that people should be free.

Well, considering that neo-cons are very much like the Borg, resistance may be futile...

Do you bother to listen when President Bush speaks? He has stated quite clearly, and many times that the democracy in Iraq will not look like ours. No one is trying to force a U.S. brand of democracy down their throats, just trying to help them find their way to a government that works for them. These people have lived under a dictatorship for so long, many of them don't know what democracy is. Kind of like teaching a blind person what blue is......

Democracy? After being manipulated and bombed by the west and the east, from Moscow, Beijing to London, Washington, Paris and Berlin?
Not a chance.

People are never free. Governments control you. In America they aren't allowed to collect personal income. They can only legally collect different taxes like corporate profits, but they don't. You see Iraq is not about anything other than Israel wants to control the middle east. We will install a puppet government in Iraq before it is all over with. It has been done everywhere. Other countries have done it oo. For example, Kuwait, India, japan, germany. The Shah of iran to name another. I could go on and on.

They are adopting their own brand of democracy, not ours, that was never expected.

So they'd rather have weapons tested on them, not have women go to school, not have a choice on the ballots, not have free trade and open enterprise, no business freedom, no health care, no open decisions, forced to pray to a specific idea of God writ by the leader... What exactly do they want on that list?
