You cannot plop a concept like "democracy" down to a bunch of primitives who think "majority rules" means "we get to kill the minorities." It was sheer arrogance to think that we could waltz in there and remake their entire society in our own image.

Quote:The Sunni extremist militants threatening Iraq seized another northern city on Monday in a battle with the Iraqi Army after having ambushed a convoy of untrained Shiite volunteers in the first lethal encounter between Sunni and Shiite combatants since the government began mobilizing thousands of Shiites.

All of which brings to mind this observation by Socrates.

Quote:A disorderly mob is no more an army than a heap of building materials is a house
