You know, when you read everything about SH from western presses, they never say anything good about SH. Never. Especially when you read or hear what Mr. Bush says about SH. I do not know about you, but I was taught and I learned that there is some "good" in everyone and everything, even though the majority or preponderance is evil. Yes, there was a bit of good in SH. I believe it is the fact that the only way to glue together or hold together a country like Iraq of its 3 or 4 or 5 or higher number of ethnic cultures into one country was to be as brutal as SH was. And now that the brutality has disappeared from Iraq, that it will go its "natural route of political evolution" and that is to dissolve or disintegrate or fracture into 3 or 4 or 5 separate countries. Democracy is a poor glue to holding together diverse peoples. USSR busted up. Yugoslavia busted up. I have already made one analogy to the prematureness of democracy for Iraq. (1) Democracy for Iraq is like expecting and taking a 2 month old baby and wanting it to ride a tricycle when it cannot even crawl or walk. But I should make more such analogies because the USA administration is a rather dumb one and never gets the message until it is too late. (2) Democracy for Iraq is like trying to swim upstream of the Tigris Euphrates River at 1 kilometer per hour when the current is 1.2 kilometers per hour against you. (3) Democracy for Iraq is like drilling a child to be a doctor or scientist before the child even has an education. (4) Democracy for Iraq is like going to the dentist to have teeth drilled before those teeth even have any decay. (5) Democracy for Iraq is like expecting to have children and raise a family before ever getting legally married. (6) Democracy for Iraq is like having prostate surgery before being "certain" that you really had prostate cancer. (7) Democracy for Iraq is like buying a car before even getting a drivers license. (8) Democracy for Iraq is like going on a spending spree without making sure that the money is first in the bank. (9) Democracy for Iraq is like going on realestate shopping when you do not even have the money to afford such. The above analogies address the prematureness of Democracy for Iraq. I believe Iraq can have a democracy in about 50 years hence and only after it is split up into 3 or 4 tinier countries. The example of Democracies created in many other countries of the recent past implies that it is too difficult if not impossible to have a democracy in a land where several ethnic groups co-exist. There is a mathematical equation that the brutality of a regime equals or exceeds the amount of ethnic diversity in order to hold together or glue together those groups. Democracy, unlike dictatorships, is not enough of a glue to hold together diverse ethnic groups and therefore they splinter, shatter and bust apart. Iraq by 2005 will be another Yugoslavia. The savvy political pundit should now be thinking of various names for the various countries that will mushroom out of Iraq. Kurdistan is one name. Bagdadistan is another name. Sunistan is another name for the many various new countries to form from the old Iraq. Trouble here is also who gets the prize oilfields.
