How do you know this? I'm pretty skeptical of the war, and frankly didn't expect much of a voter turn out. Why should Iraqis want anything to do with a system that's being foisted upon them? And if they were only grudgingly interested, why should they brave any risks to have something to do with it?
I was wrong.
Now you're telling me that the Iraqis who took risks to vote
didn't actually want a system that's based on voting.
I'm at least somewhat convincable - but would need a lot more than your simple flat statement.
As far as
my missing
your point, no I don't think so. Point to some warm-fuzzy job-well-done things I have posted here. I'm pretty sure you can't even find things like "turned the corner" in
any postings in this thread.
As a BTW, I'd suggest you skip using phrases like "Grow the f*ck up already." It undermines your own arguments (to the extent you are attempting to persuade - if you're just venting it of course doesn't matter a bit). If you
are just venting, that's OK by me - just not something I want to waste much time on reading or responding to.
