Baby steps! Our first shot at democracy was so "great" we threw it out! LOL. I myself was amazed never having given it much thought from a time line POV, that George Washington our First President did not take office until April 30, 1789. I Congratulate the Iraqi people for getting this far, we have to hang in there with them.

Yes, that is true about our constitution taking a long time...but, WE didn't have terrorists telling us HOW to vote, or they would blow up half a block!

After watching that show on Nat. Geographic about pre-9/11 last night, I think too many of us have been burying out heads in the sand about how dangerous these people are...

and you will have the actual leaders of that country, actively supporting some of them...
