The Anglo-American alliance has removed one of the most repressive totalitarian regimes and allowed Iraq to become a wealthy representative republic with the most progressive constitution in the Arab world, thanks to the compromise and pragmaticism of elected delegates from the Kurdish and Arab secular and religious parties who debated and drafted it, and thanks also to the Iraqis who overwhelmingly ratified it. Liberal democracies with open, tolerant societies have never sprung up from generations of fascist tyranny overnight; but they can get a foothold where ever people are willing to fight for them.
