Democracy in Iraq
Arianna Huffington said today on whether US troops should stay in Iraq. "Let's put democracy to the test in Iraq and find out."
This sounds a good idea, and could well give those with social concerns important evidence as to how current democratic voting procedures are weighted by populism in a genuinely unsuitable (or suitable) fashion.
Also, the Iraqis might like a vote. It seems that 61 percent of Iraqis approve of attacks on U.S. forces. If Iraq is going to turn into total chaos, at least then it will have occurred after a vote by Iraqis.
