Char, so far as I'm concerned the Iraqis may have whatever type and form of government they prefer. Obviously what they have chosen at this point has very little to do with our chosen form of government. It more closely resembles the British system than the American system.

Now those who are currently invading and trying to obstruct any government are backers of a theocracy. When the government of Iraq is able to stand on its own and protect itself from influence from a couple of its neighbors it will be time to leave.

Now would yu be so kind as to answer my question?
President Reagan summed it up nicely, "Some people go through their entire lives wondering if they made a difference, Marines don't have that problem!!!"
