Re: Jeb\'s going to run in 2008 (n/m)
Why is Iraq now a closed case???
The country was run by the most manaical leader of the late 20th century...It has tremendous sectarian problems...There was a war...there has been an insurrection...there will now be an election....
The point is after 2 yrs can you properly judge the transformation of such a nation from repressive authoritarian rule to liberal democracy???
5yrs, probably not.
10 yrs, perhaps.
25 yrs certainly.
Remember it took 25+ yrs for Saddam to turn Iraq into a prison state, so dont pass judgement so soon.
