The height of absurdity

[happydreams]

I remember when the war-hawk idiots first started talking about training Iraqi troops and police to bring law and order in Iraq to be followed by democracy. The surge was suppose to bring law and order and it has done nothing of the sort.
Just how in the hell do you take people who have never had any experience with democracy and train them to first make it happen then keep it going????

IT CANNOT AND NEVER COULD HAVE BEEN DONE!!

It will go down as one of the most idiotic excuses ever devised to cover up the hidden agenda of an imperial power and yet somehow the politicians never confronted this fact early on.


Think about it. Think of how long and arduous a process it is to democratize a country. Look at our own country which became democratized and is now a fascist dictatorship pissing away the work of 200 years of socio-political achievements. Even with secure borders and a culture steeped in the ideals of democracy like the US was it a very difficult process taking a very long time to accomplish. It is impossible for a country with no cultural basis for democracy.

Of course many of us know that Bush's intentions were more like Hitlers than the Founding Fathers, but the absurdity of it all should have been and should be now the main argument for getting the hell out of there.
