Congratulations, you have made the exact same mistake thousands of other anti-capitalism people make. Certainly MORE GOVERNMENT is our solution to an out-of-control government, no?

Then again, it's hard to tell with you. I have the feeling you're just being a half-assed polemic.

If you were to view the movie "Control Room", you would see how some Iraquis feel about our ability to change a country that has been warring over 6,000 years. How can our 200 year old culture change what is going on in a culture that we don't even understand?

The United States cannot even solve it's own complex issues with sound bites. How then is it possible, while not even understanding the middle east in it's greater complexity, to create a stable and working government there.
The United States population is roughly divided in its political views. How do the movers and shakers expect iraq to somehow become a social political monolith?

It's simple. It won't.
