Grave Mistake in Iraq
Saddam Hussein's brutal regime understandably left his Baath party's credibility in tatters, but American officials are worried that the dictator's ex-supporters are not being incorporated into the current government. The result is further sectarian division that may be behind the latest wave of bombings, which have killed scores in recent days. While Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has pledged to reconcile with Sunni groups that used to back the former dictator, instead his stance seems to be hardening, much to Washington's chagrin. Recently he blamed a major bombing on the Baath party, which he said was “filled with hate from head to toe.” U.S. officials are hoping that aggressive peace efforts will help separate extremist Sunni groups from ones amenable to mainstream government.

Notion building works about as well as nation building.
The sewer systems and water systems don't even work yet. So how are the politics going to work when the toilets don't flush?
That won't even work in Mobile, Alabama for heaven's sake.

Another article in The Beast today brings up the possibility Jackie Chan is right. The Chinese aren't interested in full scale democracy -- which, of course, relieves us of the burden of invading China to force it on them. But it also brings to mind the possibility that Iraq also may not have so much ardor for democratic institutions. Of course, we already invaded that country. So, they're stuck. Or, as this article suggests, are they?
