I think its about time some of you face the facts that this POTUS has done poorly. And some folks will never face the music. Case closed.
Check in your history books and see how long it was from 7/4/1776 until we had a constitution to vote on let alone one in force. It's been less than 5 years for Iraq. Using the standards you wish to impose the US was and still is a failure because our CURRENT legislature can't even pass a damn budget bill. Not to mention come up with a fix for SS, mediscare, tax code, and the new ENERGY bill does absolutely NOTHING towards helping our country GET more energy it only mandates that we ALL GET BY WITH LESS. GET A REAL CASE instead of a wet paper one.

Your gonna hurt yourself with all of those contortions. Unless your wanting to go around the world repairing screwed up countries. I could like me to point out that we didn't have telephones and airplanes or cars in 1776 either.And we didn't have a good model to work off of in 1776. And by the way our revolution was sparked from within. You are comparing apples and oranges.

We ARE comparing apples and oranges...

The US was created by (at the time) modern thinking people equipped with the foremost education of that day...

Iraq is attempting to be re-invented from a population that has been stagnant and backwards thinking for over a millenium...

Logic dictates that it should take LONGER than the US's revolution and not shorter...

Look in the phone book under PHD's and see how many of these backward folks are your doctors. But we are arguing off the point. It is that the whole idea was a diversion to take the publics eye off OBL. Because we were going to be at a stalemate with the Pakistanis. Some day people will face the facts. But not for a while.

Yup they are only trying to do it with terrorists bombing them and amidst what you'all insist is a civil war, with 3 different cultures(we really only had one and one language also)with liberals insisting that they can't and constantly interfering and MAKING DEMANDS upon them. Not to mention that there is NO MODEL that fits their culture(unless you do actually want to impose "our idea" of a democracy upon them).

It still wasn't our job. Unless you want to start going down the list one country at a time.
