The real questions I have include:
Does Iraq want America's version of democracy? It's all fine and good to say that everyone should be free, but how we define free can differ greatly to how others might define it.
Is Iraq truly prepared to divide religion from politics (though that's something the USA is struggling with mightily itself) which is part of how a democracy works?
Can Iraq keep the peace on its own, will the elected leader have any real way of keeping power?
These same questions would apply if/when Iran comes up as another place to establish American democracy.
Take care all.
