Sorry Titus, but you're far too trusting/vein here. Your "watch more speeches" comment really irked me. Do you think these "elected leaders" will help at all? Look at Karzai. The constitution is being drafted by other countries, pretty much. Not exactly in the name of the people. You're telling me to read up on facts, I'm telling you to get a nice whiff of reality. Iraq cannot and will not run on some fake democracy that is going to be set up there. It'll still be a shithole. A shithole with less people thrown into blenders, maybe, but still a violent shithole with suicide bombings.
