The world has no police, no real international law, that is a nice wish list. The world has power, spheres of influence, ideology.
They all compete, you can not just lie down and hope it will go away, it does not. It will all find you.
Iraq now has a chance, it is their chance, one they risked against an insurgent brutality most Westerners can not even imagine anymore, determining their own fate; they told you, as straight as any people could tell you, no more Mafia Don Saddam.
They have a chance to determine their own future.
Will they fuck it up?
I hope not.
And I find it sad and strange so many of you hope they do.
Even if one has a real a principled reason to have been against the war, I can find no real or principled reason to be against Iraqi democracy, other than self indulgent ego.
