"Pure genius".
Thank you. I'm glad I could straighten you out on this one.
Ten years from now, after Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, the U.A.E., and even Saudi Arabia have democratized and joined the 21st. Century, and the factory of anti-western brain-washing and suicidal rage has gone out of business, you can get ahold of me and I'll help you figure out what to think about the next big crisis.
Let's get Iraq done first.
That's assuming, as you do, that democratization will not put in power the very jihadis we are fighting against.
