are equally as educated as the folks here; many of them are probably more informed about the writings of the Enlightenment and the Greeks then we here are.  We could help the Iraqis the most, it seems to me, if we'd go back and learn something from those people who supposedly "helped us".  And if we learned something from our own long history of mistakes with democracy, rather than assuming we own the franchise.

I agree, we can show how a democracy works.  That's a lot different than saying here's your constitution, here's your government structure, here's your unelected representatives handpicked by us.
