First of all, I am not in Vegas. Did you think the "location" thingy changes every time you leave town or the country? Sheesh!
The US does not wish to "run" a democratic government in Iraq. It expects Iraq to elect and run it's own government...as it is doing. You guys clearly don't even know the maeaning of democracy. The Afghan govt seems to be doing quite well in my estimation...what do you expect with such a short period as a democracy...even the US had growing pains as did post WW II Europe and Japan. Is there no common sense on the left?
