Healthy? Democracy in Iraq doesn't even have a pulse.

I'm still waiting for the US to develop into a healthy democracy.

Reconstruction is a long process that often fails. If you're expecting Iraq--a country that lived under a brutal dictator for decades--to be a stable democracy after only a few years, then you're delusional. The reconstructions of Germany and Japan took longer. Let's not forget that our own reconstruction process failed miserably by 1876 and wasn't revived until the mid-20th century. And we're probably the most stable democracy in the world. Patience.

They're blowing each other up on a daily basis. That doesn't happen in a "healthy democracy".

I heard being in Iraq isn't good for your health.

No, not really
However the Sunnis have finally started fighting against the insurgents. Which is a good thing.

Oh yeah, it's healthy, but the cost of the operation is killing it.
