what happens if we stablize Iraq, and they decide they dont wont democracy. What happens then?Can we allow it.

Answer 1

Before Bush invaded Iraq, he was told by all his generals, plus an expensive study by the Rand Corporation, that it would take 500,000 people to stabilize Iran. Instead he went with Rumsfeld's plan to do it 'on the cheap'. When our guys sat back helplessly and watched them loot all the offices and stores in the country, even weapons caches, all hope of stabilizing the country was gone. It's only gotten worse since then and it will only get worse until we leave.

As for democracy, pardon me for being cynical, but democracy was the LAST thing Bush and his pals wanted for Iraq. The insurgency is not anti-democratic, it is anti-American, and anti-the government we gave them.

Iraq won't really be a sovereign country until they have the ability to ask the Americans to leave, and to run their own oil industry and keep most of the profits at home.

Answer 2

You have just posed an extremely intelligent question. In reality I doubt very much that the Iraqis will embrace democracy. They have been led by tyrants and tribal leaders all of their lives so why change now? America will have to make a decision on this possibility and leave Iraq totally. Look at the score card. What did the USA accomplish? The loss of thousands of American lives and a country that is in ruins. Bush and Cheney should be moved to Iraq so they can live in the mess that they have created.

Answer 3

Greetings. I assume you know some magic formula to get the Iraqi people to abandon their culture and their religious beliefs and become good christians? the term democracy keeps being tossed around. there is no democracy, not in Iraq and certainly not here. never was. we are a failed representative republic that no longer, if even, had any representation in government. If you want democracy then do not insist on only one running for office there be a puppet to our leaders. let the people vote, honestly, I know that is a foreign concept to America, a honest election? Let the Iraqi people vote and accept the majority decision and get the hell out. You are not going to turn Moslems into Texas Baptists no matter how many crooked elections are held. We tried that in Vietnam, didn't work then either. won't work now.

Answer 4

What is it that makes us so superior that we can force our form of government down the throats of another country. Besides over 3,000 of our soldiers dying there has been well over 600,000 Iraqis killed. Now the average Iraqi knows about 7 people killed so far from our military action there. It's like a surgeon trying to help a patient with a hammer, chisel and chain saw. Seriously, do you think the Iraqis like this "democracy" we're shoving down their throats? I'm trying to remember just how many died under Saddam Hussein's 30 year reign. Vote Ron Paul and end this nonsense!

Answer 5

Well, considering they have already started the voting process, how is it they would decide not to be democracy? Would the elected president make that decision? So same goes here in United States then, correct- if Bush decided this would be a dictatorship then the decision is final? That's why there are checks and balances, their government will be set up like ours.

Answer 6

We arm all households. It will cost less than 1 day of war there, and it will allow us to leave. They will then
1. Not need to worry about national security
2. Not need to worry about being kidnapped

Right now the problem is unarmed Iraqi households.

Answer 7

They are a sovereign country. If that is what they want, then that is what will happen.

Also if the Iraqi leaders asked us to leave tomorrow, we would do that as well.
