*** I can't forsee any real form of democracy happening in Iraq any time soon (next 3-5 years). ***
Iraq's first democratically elected government in half a century has a Shia prime minister and a Kurdish president and several Sunni cabinet ministers. It looks to me like democracy is off to a good start. The USA has been at it for over 228 years and we're still trying to figure it out.
Maybe you don't want democracy to happen in Iraq. Well, not under Bush's watch anyway.
BTW Phoenix is a great place. A bit pricey though. $7 for a pint of local beer?!?! And why does everyone drive an SUV? And is everyone woman blonde??
