2. I think that we have stirred up a hornet's nest in Iraq
We said that we wanted to bring democracy to Iraq, but if Iraq has a truly democratic election, what happens to the rights of women? What happens between the Shites and the Sunnis? What happens to the Kurds? If the Kurds have autonomy, what happens if Turkey and the Kurds go to war? But if we leave a phony government in charge, won't we be seen as occupiers and fair game for insurgents.
