How do we expect a society to react that has no history of democracy, going from royalty to a dictator? Add to that the extreme relevance of religious and tribal influence, and the individual Iraqi is not prepared for independent or bold thinking, having been told how to act and what to think for decades. Changing that mindset will take decades and generations, not three or four years. Our leaders should have been aware of this before the entire system over there was gutted. Building on what was there would have been a prudent path to follow.
