The usual quagmire of the left going back to Vietnam and we were right
then. We are right now. Even the Bush dummies knew democracy in Iraq would
put the Shiites in power and that was and remains unacceptable to everyone,
in and our of Iraq.

Bush tried to avoid it by insisting on a constitution that would mandate
power sharing. Al Sistani rejected it out of hand. Without that kind of
constitution elections would lead to Shiite rule and that would itself
prevent democracy. More to the point, without that kind of constitution,
elections favor only Shiites, therefore there will be no elections.

All of this was obvious long before the war even began. Obvious that is to
everyone but the utter idiots in this administration. But Bush has told you
otherwise and good party man that you are, you believe it.
