108. Who the hell do you think make up the personal armies?

Besides, such a system didn't do the US too bad, did it?

The United States can set up a system where all the Iraqis, not just the rich ones who can manage to get lots of weapons, will get to have input into the new government, stick around long enough to make sure it's relatively stable, and then leave.

What a pipe dream! The US stick around long enough? What a decade? five decades? How long before the US actually lets the Iraqi people decide for themselves, and how many Iraqis will be killed, maimed, tortured and raped in the meantime?

And after all that time, what stops the "warlords" from taking over when the US finally leaves?

Don't you see that NOTHING CHANGES it can ONLY be delayed at the price of many more lives.
