UT, how can you be sure a high or low turnout is indicative of the Iraquis desire for democracy? Can’t there be other scenarios playing out?
For instance:
1-The Iraquis have been forced into a position where they have to participate in the process or the US will remain and the violence will continue to kill innocent bystanders.
2-The Iraquis have been forced to vote for the representation they want in order to prevent being ruled by the people the US chose.
3-The Iraquis have been brainwashed into believing that if they vote suddenly everything will be OK.
4-A hundred other scenarios stemming from personal experiences.
You may be right.....but I’m leery of such an over simplification.
