It took hundreds of years of effort by a remarkable number of people for democracy to evolve. The American version (you know, kind of like the King James version of the Bible) is but one way for democracy to work, and it took two hundred years for it to get to its present working form in the U.S.A.
And you think some mass-produced sheets of paper are going to inspire the Iraqi's to "rapidly evolve beyond the 12-century barbarism" they are (in your opinion) mired in?
Your contempt is showing, and it is not a pretty sight.
