Hi,
trying to talk down post-war results without othering anything other than emotion for your support
Tell you what, give me one example where a democracy invaded a non-democratic country, imposed democracy, moved out, and the imposed democracy survived one decade after the invader left.
What I want is to find solutions to terrorism and analyze what have been the results, whether good or bad, of what's happened so far.
Yeah, but to do so you need to understand how things evolve on the world scale. And to do *that* you need to know some history. If every time a certain situation arose the outcome was negative, it takes ignorance or partisanship (or optimism bordering on idiocy) to expect different results the next time that situation occurred. But that is *exactly* what the "at least we brought democracy to Iraq" fools are claiming. Will this be the exception -- possible but not probable.
Ignorance? Yeah, it is ignorant to bring up terrorism in a discussion on the invasion of Iraq.
Do you have anything to add other than bile?
At least my bile has some substance. Unlike the regurgitations of those who ignorantly continue to repeat the administration's party line.
