I chocked on my tomato juice reading this

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he U.S. government has long cautioned that a fully functioning democracy would be slow to emerge in Iraq. But with key U.S. senators calling for al-Maliki's removal, some senior U.S. military commanders even suggest privately the entire Iraqi government must be removed by "constitutional or non-constitutional" means and replaced with a stable, secure, but not necessarily democratic entity.

So no more democracy? You should have left the dictator in place in the first place!

Whenever you let Muslim majorities vote they will always vote for the most immoral mass murdering terrorist dictator possible.

Just look at the example of Gaza where the Muslim majority there voted for terrorist mass murderers. It's very reminiscent of Weimar Germany where they voted for Hitler.

True Islam and democracy are totally irreconcilable.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')henever you let Muslim majorities vote they will always vote for the most immoral mass murdering terrorist dictator possible.


Yet Muslims only constitute 1% or less of the voting population in the US. Turns out electing those same immoral mass murdering terrorist leaders is a pretty common action throughout most of the world: US, Russia, Germany, Ghaza, etc.

Yes, because true democracy is letting the dumbest portion of the electorate vote for whomever satisfies their emotions (How often did we hear "I don't feel comfortable with Kerry/Gore/Nadir/whomever?") or makes the grandest proposals yet never enacts them (Democrats in '06).

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'H')ow about Dick Cheney for Dictator of Iraq? Razz
