We get the daily (no, hourly) reports from the shitstorm that is Iraq. I can barely imagine the frustration of those who live there, who want nothing more than to live in safety, in that promised democratic society.
Unfortunately for those Iraqis, democracy is a participatory system of government and there are many who refuse to play along. There are also those who wanted to turn events to their own gain.
Without security, there can't be democracy. As long as al-Sadr and all those groups of hooded assholes with video cameras are allowed to run rampant, this mutation of martial law will have to continue -- along with all the airstrikes and car bombs and refugees and civilian casualties.
In order for Iraq to move forward, some people will have to be tossed out of the game.
