Iraq will never be a stable democracy. That's a pipe dream. I remember when the Shah of Iran was in power and we thought Iran was going to be our buddy in the mideast. Some people in this country cannot accept the fact that not everyone in the world welcomes democracy. Countries in the mideast despise us. They do not aspire to be like us. It's just a shame that so many have had to die in such a futile experiment.
