President Bush held up Israel as a model for defining success in Iraq, saying Thursday the U.S. goal there is not to eliminate attacks but to enable a democracy that can function despite violence.
We have no grounds for argument, since we've backed the Israeli model all these years.
....so hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
A nice attempt at unifying Iraq. I'm pretty sure that one thing Sunnis and Shiites can agree on is that they don't want to be anything like Israel. If the US and Israel are models for democracy, I can only guess that most Iraqis think that democracy means "form of government of those who kill and subjugate Muslims."
ReplyDeletewell, you know, there are various forms of democracy, as dubya and condi have both informed us. the kind we have in mind for iraq may just well BE that form.
