Why isn't Iraq a stable Democracy?

The arrogance of the US thinking that it could make Iraq or any other Middle Eastern country a democracy is madness and all its allies following suit the mind boggles, Muslims have never been democracies, the have always been ruled by a Caliphate, after the first world war the Ottoman Empire was divided up between England and France (the spoils of war) for you know black gold, Texas T

Over my dead body would my son or daughter go to that hellhole, just to come back with missing limbs or in a box. The DC morons should send theirs.

I can always use my power of persuasion and the threat of changing my will.

When my younger daughter told me she was planning to go to Kenya to teach, I said this:

She said yes and never mentioned Kenya again.

Blunt is good.
