I doubt it will succeed, but not because I want it to fail, or am not willing to sacrifice for it. Basically my issue is that the war wasn't designed to bring democracy to the middle east. The war was designed to do a lot of things, and after all of them failed, then the justification for bringing democracy to the middle east was dreamt up- and if you are honest and recall how this went down, no one, and I mean *no one* was talking about invading Iraq to bring democracy when this began. So what do you think Bush planned to do after ousting Saddam Hussein? Oh yeah, steel the oil! But there wasn't any oil in Afghanistan to steel yet we helped them organize a democracy after chasing the Taliban and Al Qaeda out. Why wouldn't there be plans to do the same for Iraq? ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
