I can't think of one in Asia either before Japan but they are now.

Yes, blindingly brilliant, once I remembered that the Confederacy was made
up of a mixture of Sunni Arabs, Shiite Arabs, and Kurds, who had once lived
under the US Constitution.  That was why we were able to have them accept
the outcome of the Civil War.

Now, can you point to a single place in the Middle East where democracy was
imposed by a foreign invader?  You seem to be saying that is the reason for
our illegal invasion of Iraq.  If that was the reason, why was that not part
of a national debate before the invasion?  Shouldn't we have some assessment
of whether it's been done before, and whether it's possible now?

I don't expect you to answer that question, but if you're going to accuse me
of clouding the issue, you should be honest enough to try.  Suprise me,
won't you?

And since you also talk of uneducated third worlders in a tone that at best
is patronizing and at worst racist (your use of the word 'raghead' cements
that view), don't you remember that supporters of the war claimed that
transformation of Iraq would be easy because of its highly-educated
population?
