178. You do realize what kind of government they will elect, right?
Over 60% of the country is radical Shiite Muslim, the same sect that controls IRAN. Once free, democratic elections are held, they will take power through numbers alone and turn Iraq into a mini-Iran, complete with repressive fundamentalist laws based on a strict interpretation of the Koran. It's sad that the Iraqis will probably end up having LESS freedom under their democratically elected government than they had under Saddam.

This is the freedom we're gonna give to the Iraqi people?
