I just think this whole "spread democracy in the middle east" thing is the biggest load of s h i t a US govt has ever tried to perpetrate on the world and it own people. We arent in Iraq to "spread democracy". We arent there to "liberate people". If democracry indeed spreads and people are liberated then that is great but it is not even close to the main objective, an objective that has been spun and changed multiple times since the start of the iraqi war.
Maybe not democracy. But for gosh sakes basic human rights... that has to sink in sometime. The middle east has gone thru far too many despots and crazy people. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe some cultures do not permit basic human rights. I mean my gosh look at what they do to their women. And what we did (and to some extent still do) to our women.

I have now been upgraded to Hollywood Park because of my political threads on a horse board. Hollywood Park will be developed into something else in two years most likely...
