If the people of Iraq aren't hungry for democracy then we're spinning our wheels. I fully understand our motivation for the invasion, but to suppose we can rebuild that country when so many of their elected officials are beholden to different religious groups and groups within groups has really tied our hands.

My point is that we have not had a clear picture of the situation in Iraq as we only hear of the bad and they only show pictures of small groups that hate us. I call that selective media which there is no way anyone can deny that is what they have shown. You just proved my point as you said how the schools where running so good before we went in and now are way down when just the opposite is happening. How do we know if they are hungry for democracy? We don't because of the select media we receive is just showing one side of the story. I'm not saying all is good and rossy I'm just asking for the whole story so I or we can decide the truth.
