[QUOTE="PigCapitalist, post: 860975, member: 5716"] Democracy is totally unsuited to a culture that is basically tribal. Democracy in Africa ensures the dominance of the larest tribe in the country over all the others for perpetuity. Iraq falls into this model. No Shiite will ever vote for a Sunni Arab, or Kurd. No Kurd will vote Arab etc. If most of the Arab world had democracy today the place would be run by Hamas/Taliban tomorrow. The neo-con movement fails to recoginze this also. This is just another chapter in US foreign policy hypocrisy, in a book that dates back to Monroe and before. Mind, they learned from the Brits, so they had a good teacher. Of course there is a civil war in Iraq - and it will get worse. But it is in no way in the US interest for this to happen. Anyone who thinks that the CIA or some 'Black ops' boys led a US sanctioned attack on the mosque this week needs to look at the situation more closely. Was it the US's fault it happened ?- yes, indirectly, because it sure would not have happened while Saddam was in power. But blaming the CIA for it directly is just dumb. [/QUOTE]
