Why Aren't We Talking About This?

I don't think the difference between us lies in our views of the popularity of the anti-democracy forces. Perhaps the glass is half-full, whatever that means. When the Titanic was half-full, it sank. Somehow, the Kurds and Sunnis are going to have to be persuaded to submit themselves to a government dominated by Shi'ites. Somehow, the Shi'ites are going to have be persuaded not to exercise control over the Kurds and Sunnis commensurate with the Shi'ite share of the population. If you want to figure out how likely this is, you have to do more than poll Iraqis about their support for the ideal of democracy.

I know. Let's give them our Constitution and legal system. That'll work.
