the trouble is that the Iraqis were not 'led' to Democracy, they had it forced upon them. The so-called democracy is a sham anyway - if the Iraqi government happen to make any decision the American occupiers disagree with, they are made (by the Americans) to change it. It's no democracy at all - you cannot blame the Iraqis for not wanting to 'drink' this sham that has been forced on them.

That is true. Camels are disgusting animals. They are just perfect for the environment they live in. For people who live by tribal loyalties and who have no concept of democracy why would they want it forced upon them? We have to get over the notion that the whole world wants to be just like us. '
Those people in the Middle East, many of them, want to live in the 14th Century. I say let them. We need to get out and leave them to settle things for themselves as they have for thousands of years. If we put all that money and manpower spent on the war toward the research, development and manufacture of machines and devices that will make us and our allies energy self sufficient, while at the same time keep the environment clean and safe we could let the people over there live as they please. We would have jobs for Americans and be able to again lead the world in technology and innovation.
Get near a camel and all he wants to do is either kick you or spit on you. Do the camels learn from their masters or the masters from the camels?

It took the U.S. 200 years to get as far along as we did. Women could not vote for the first 100 years, and before that, there were other laws restricting voting rights to land-owners and charging poll taxes designed to exclude the poor and blacks.
For us to believe we can force an evolved American brand of "democracy" down the throats of those that have lived in a totalitarian theocracy for a couple thousand years, and they'll just abandon their belief in the supremacy of the church overnight, is incredibly arrogant and short-sighted.

True yet false. There can be Democracy, but what happens when the Democracy chooses Theocracy for a government?

Of course not, especially if it had its own mind! Why would it drink something it's not familiar with? On the other hand, Iraq's vast oil fields are something America wants to gluttonously drink up like no tomorrow. What a farce this all is.

VERY TRUE, especially when Muslims have to drink from the well of Democracy.
Please remember that Democracy is Islam's archenemy.

they have not known a free society in hundreds of years, therefore, how can they immediately be expected to jump on the democracy bandwagon when they have no idea what it really means? It will take time......

So the overwhelming turnout of Iraqis for their freely held elections are an example of them not drinking?

False, more Iraq citizens vote than Americans do. You should ask, If a liberal sees a well of misinformation, does he immediately drink it up or does he bathe in it to really soak up the bs?

It is difficult to drink with the Iranian, Syrian, and al-Qa'ida wolves nipping at you're neck.
